A visit to our large construction site just before Leipzig 😊 After almost 20 years we are very close to completing the A 38 🥹. It's impressive how much earth is being moved here. To complete the tour we went to Lake Hainer and back via Espenhain through the wild garlic forest near Markkleeberg.

Started the 4 lakes tour in the fog at 14 degrees. Went for a nice ride on great bike paths and arrived back home safely in the best sunshine
