🚀 We set off from Polsdorf at 🌡 +3.0° Celsius and ☁️ overcast skies, heading 🧭 towards the north shore. The timing is perfect; at the 🅿️ parking lot opposite 🏰 Appelhof Castle 🍎 in Allersberg, there are only one, two, three... eleven 🚐🚗🚙🚕🚓🚌🚕🚙🚗🚐 cars parked today. We leave the 🅿️ parking lot, the "Stauwurzel Rothsee" nature reserve, and the …

Many people soaked up their vitamin D in the bright sunshine today. Our friend @H.W. had the same idea, but luckily she went the other way. We were at the café at the same time and were able to chat at length.

🚀 We set off from Polsdorf at 🌡 +6.0° Celsius and overcast skies, heading 🧭 towards the north shore. "Timing is everything," at the 🅿️ parking lot at Appelhof Castle, I count just five 🚕🚗🚐🚙🚓 cars. Scurry, scurry across the almost empty 🅿️ parking lot, we turn onto Seeweg 😳 Mid-March, April, April - no, not an April Fool's joke …

Dear @Doris, many 🙏🏼 thanks for the wonderful idea and the work you did for us. We made good 🚀 progress, but unfortunately didn't make it to the "mulled wine party" with you in time 🙁

After the croissant breakfast at Eysölden Castle, we drove straight to Rothsee to complete the first tour in the new year 2025 😃

First up is the 2nd Indoor Run at Fahrrad XXL in Fürth. Around 350 runners took part in the running event inside the Fahrrad XXL building. The European Handball Championship final between Denmark (34:27) and Germany is still a little while away, and Rothsee is always a good option.
