Finally went outside again. When the weather is nice, we set off, arrived home like a drowned poodle. Selketal is very wet and muddy I will avoid in the near future.

Unfortunately, Komoot didn't record it again. 10 km approx. are missing. Well, in Meisdorf I drove to the water mill museum, which unfortunately had just closed. I …

Today I did the first cautious tour after my fall. I have to take it slowly, it's not really good yet. The Selke valley is very beautiful, it smells good and there are lots of flowers. The Selke has a lot of water, you can see it clearly at the Selkefall.

Today it worked once again with a bike tour through the Selketal. Just drive off and enjoy. The Selketalbahn even passed through Mägdesprung. Always a highlight. Then there was a vintage car rally in Meisdorf. On to the next tour 👍
