In Villach, we took the Gail cycle path to Arnoldstein. We then took our first break there.
From there, uphill to the Austrian-Italian border.
Directly behind the customs post, a short, steep climb of 15%.
A short break in Pontebba.
Shortly behind Camporosso, the Alpe Adria cycle path began as I had imagined

The day started early in the morning at 06:30 with breakfast as we wanted to reach the train at 08:20 in Böckstein.
From there, we went through the Tauern Tunnel to the other side of the Alps to Mallnitz.
From the train station in Mallnitz at 1200m, we went rapidly down to about 700m. Altitude information

On the second day of the Alpe Adria Cycle Path, we went from Sankt Johann to Bad Gastein. The stage was short, but packed with considerable elevation gain.
First from the hotel to the train station in Schwarzach.
Briefly gathered strength and climbed up to the Brandstätt balancing reservoir.

The first day from Salzburg to Sankt Johann was characterized above all by temperatures well over 30°.
Thus, the various stops for fluid intake (primarily alcohol-free wheat beer) were utilized.
Scenically, for a North German lowlander, it is already a special experience: mountains, gorges, and ascents

Before the adventure really starts tomorrow, we went to the Pitterkeller in Salzburg's Old Town for dinner today.

For the final day, we had planned to go from the hotel to Vareler Hafen and then back to Ocholt via Conneforde.
Given the very strong westerly wind and the predicted rain, we decided to go directly home instead.
So there is not much more to report about today than that we arrived home dry and that it was a nice tour.

Day 2 of our tour from the Ems to the Jade.
Still in dry weather, we started from our hotel towards Kesselschleuse, where the Ems-Jade Canal begins.
Supported by a strong westerly wind, we practically flew towards WHV.
Mostly well-maintained paths make cycling along the canal easy.
In Aurich, my thick fingers

This year it's supposed to go from the Ems to the Jade.
More specifically from Emden on the Ems Jade Canal to Wilhelmshaven.
The meeting and starting point was today in Ocholt.
From here it went via Apen, Stickhausen to the Pünte.
There we looked to the right for a moment and had a little chat with the ferrymen

After a short break at "Bar La Cuevita", we continued uphill to approx. 500 meters altitude, past the Ayagaures reservoir on the GC503 to the famous Palmitos Park! The further route through the mountain landscape to the dunes of Maspalomas was very interesting and beautiful! A wonderful day ended with

Shortly before the end of the season, I wanted to try crossing again with the Püntefähre.
I stuck to my good intentions: I arrived at 12:30, and the next trip was scheduled for 2:30.
So I took a circuitous route back.

I had chosen Lake Tillysee in Wardenburg as my destination some time ago.
On the way there, I passed through Edewecht, where I was able to see the progress on the road repairs towards Oldenburg. How long has this been going on? 😉
I crossed the Küstenkanal near Klein Scharrel and followed Ammerländer Strasse

A leisurely Sunday hike to the Pünte.
And since I was lacking inspiration, I returned almost the same way.

The Greetsiel trip was planned differently: I'd go there by e-bike on Saturday and come back on Sunday.
But my man flu was still taking its toll, so today – for the first time – I used my new bike rack.
I checked into the hotel in Greetsiel and headed towards the Leysiel lock. On the way there, I enjoyed

Made it!
The Alpe Adria Cycle Path is behind me.
352km full of positive impressions.
Today there was also a lot to see.
After a typical Italian breakfast (the coffee 🤨) we started from the center of Udine heading out of town towards Pradamano and from there continued until we made a first stop in Palmanova
