Off to Erfurt with the 🚲😉. We had a lot of headwind on the way there, but with the 🔋battery it was no problem. In the state capital we then did a city tour with 🚌 and visited the citadel and cathedral. Very interesting and worth seeing city 💙. Since Oktoberfest was just being celebrated, we took a 🎡 trip …

While the sun is still shining, we need to do something with our bikes! So we grabbed our bikes and cycled along the Mittelland cycle path to Erfurt.

Dream weather 😀
Erfurt is always worth a trip. The journey there from Weimar was very nice. Nice route, hardly any traffic.
The return journey wasn't that exciting. Cycle path out of Erfurt next to a busy road, a lot of road later too, but overall ok🚵‍♂️🚵‍♀️
Nice cafes in Erfurt and Weimar.

Today we went to the country estate in Holzdorf, which is run by the Diakonie. You can eat well in the cafeteria and the park is also very nice.

Unfortunately, it started to rain from Ulla onwards, but the strong wind from the morning had calmed down a bit.

Today was a very beautiful, but extremely strenuous tour to the Goethe city of Weimar. It was actually only 60 km, but unlike at home, the terrain was very hilly. The climb to the Buchenwald memorial camp, after the truly rewarding tour of Weimar with its countless highlights, was particularly challenging. After leaving the city, it dragged on, both on …

Since we wanted to do a lap today, we expected some headwind on the way back. Unfortunately, that's how it happened. But what the heck: We wanted to go cycling!!!!

Last stage of my bike tour. From the youth hostel in Weimar to the youth hostel in Erfurt. I cover the short distance in perfect weather on a beautiful bike path, which I had already partially passed yesterday. When I arrive at the hostel I cannot check in yet, but they kindly lock up my bike and luggage. I walk …

Today it was just about getting to Erfurt. The route was good for that. There was little traffic on the road sections, the roads through town were often on cobblestones, and the cycle paths and cycle streets were very good. There were lots of cyclists on the route, and the route seems to be popular.
