We just started again...around the reservoir. With a slightly different route. Unfortunately, the app didn't record correctly at the end of the lap. It's starting to get annoying. 🤔

The weather was too nice for me to visit the city, so I preferred to drive around the Bautzner reservoir and then to the Bautzner city center to eat a great beef roulade in the Wjelbik.

There are better rounds. Less suitable for children as the cycle path went along the street several times. You are also rarely on the water.

The round is about the same length as that around the Berzdorfer See, but is a bit more strenuous. The signage (RSB) is exemplary.

It was a beautiful tour and the weather was great, but it was quite up and down, a bit tiring without an e-bike. And just before the finish, my phone battery ran out.
