A hazelnut spread tour in glorious sunshine. On the way back, I tried to treat myself to a bratwurst at the Fürth 'Christmas' market. In fact, there were only two stalls selling Christmas decorations and one selling candles. The bratwurst selection, however, was quite large, but I must have chosen the wrong one 🤓

I really didn't feel like going out today. But the new brake pads needed to be broken in. Then I had a flash of inspiration. Pristownik's sausage stand is open during Advent.
Reason enough to brave the gloomy weather. This time not through the woods, but along the road to Lauf. I needed grip for the brakes

A short walk in the woods, since the rain is kindly holding off for a while. It was damper in the woods than expected. Checking the ice pond revealed a paper-thin layer of ice. Will the dredging at the top of the Tiergarten turn out to be what it looks like? If so, I certainly won't be going down there

A tour of the hidden settlements. In Nerreth, however, the Halloween decorations have already been packed away. We returned along the old canal in still pleasant autumn weather, where there weren't too many day-trippers.

A gravel ride via Hetzles to the hilltop above Effeltrich in still relatively mild autumn weather. It started to drizzle on and off. The poultry in Hetzles were still happily roaming around outside, enthusiastically playing hide-and-seek.

A short gravel ride around my local area in beautiful autumn weather. At Birkensee, I picked up a fallen road cyclist. Luckily, nothing serious, but the shock was written all over his face. Still lost in thought, I missed the turnoff to Schmausenbuck and ended up going straight home. At least I can trim the boxwood today.

Today we explored the Rhône-Rhine Canal again in the other direction. We had already visited Mulhouse itself.
The Smurf Museum was always one of my childhood dreams. Besides that, there's a nice market hall and, well, the town center, which doesn't have much to offer other than a church square. At least

Today I chose a bike tour rather than a gravel tour. We've been to Switzerland three times in the southernmost part of the Alsatian Jura. The tour covers a few kilometers on moderately-sized country roads, but fortunately, they were mostly quiet.
Because the climbs were few and far between, it felt like

Round 3 of the Sundgau Tourism Association. Today we're heading towards the Swiss border through the Jura. For me, this was the most scenic and technically beautiful of the three so far.
Many romantic villages and Ferrette, a very picturesque town. A coffee break at the Fritschy bakery gave us strength

A windy, wooded Christmas walk. It's always nice to let your thoughts wander a bit in the woods on a day like this. Fittingly, there was a sprig of mistletoe lying right in the middle of the path, which I'll hang up right away. It's also nice when you come back to the city and suddenly the pre-Christmas
