Last stage of my bike tour. From the youth hostel in Weimar to the youth hostel in Erfurt. I cover the short distance in perfect weather on a beautiful bike path, which I had already partially passed yesterday. When I arrive at the hostel I cannot check in yet, but they kindly lock up my bike and luggage

Today, after a cool night in beautiful weather, I start my penultimate stage towards Weimar. In weather that could almost be described as "heat" in 2024, I push on to the youth hostel at Poseckschen Garten. Most of the route is beautiful and there are cool descents. But you can't call it flat here, I

The route takes me from Creutzburg along the Werra to Eisenach. There I take a stroll through town on my bike, including coffee and Zupfkuchen in the historic old town. I continue along cycle paths and roads to the Drei Gleichen campsite. A super modern campsite. Super clean and not very many people

After the day off in Witzenhausen, I set off rested on the Werra cycle path. Alternating between roads, cycle paths and gravel, the route is always close to the Werra, through mostly beautiful places, but also through industrial areas to Creutzburg. The weather is nice and I take a nice long break on

In the morning I set off early from the campsite. First it's 8km downhill on beautiful asphalt, where I organize a delicious breakfast at the bakery in Flieden. It's really cold this morning and I'm glad I have my knee warmers and 2 jackets. I follow cycle paths and sometimes roads via the Johannesberg

Away from the Main and along the Kinzig (with a headwind) through tranquil spa towns (Bad Soden and Steinau) and slowly uphill to Schlüchtern. The last climb was really tough and I had to push my bike for the first and only time on the whole tour on a very steep gravel track. The campsite at the top

Stage 3: mostly flat stage between the Rhine and the Main. Well signposted cycle paths, but also some roads. I cycled in the rain for the last two hours. That's why there are hardly any photos of this stage. Jacket was still super waterproof and comfortable to wear. Arrived in Mainflingen at 1 p.m. and

Second stage: set off a little late from Kirn (10.30 a.m.) after packing my things for the first time. The night was very wet, but my bike stayed perfectly dry. I cycled along the Nahe, mostly on a lovely cycle path, but also along the road to Bad Kreuznach. There I left the river cycle path and cycled

First stage of my bike tour to Erfurt. I started at Moren and stayed dry for just 5km. At the entrance to Losheim I stopped for the first time to put on my new rain jacket. In Losheim I had to take shelter because it was pouring with rain. The tactic of stopping and taking shelter in heavy rain worked

Super nice and varied tour through the Merziger Forest, the Saarschleife inner curve and back over a different route with a few tough climbs back to Brotdorf.
