In the morning, the sky was heavily overcast and raining. After breakfast, it was still drizzling lightly, so we put on our rain gear as a precaution.
We rode briskly from Badenweiler down into the Rhine plain. Shortly after crossing the Rhine at Chalampé, the sun came out, and it warmed up quite quickly

It rained last night, and in the morning it was heavily overcast and drizzling. Fortunately, we didn't need any rain gear when we set off. From Bad Säckingen, we first crossed the impressive wooden bridge towards Stein (Switzerland). There we cycled towards Wallbach through beautiful countryside on gravel

Finally back on the road – even if only for a short time. Today we started our "culinary" autumn tour. Finally, we're off to Alsace. First, we cycled along the Glatt River to the Rhine, then the EV6 along the Rhine via Koblenz to Bad Säckingen. An entertaining tour, even if the Swiss side is less beautiful

Something different. Based on the book "BierWandern - zu Gasthausbrauereien und Restaurants mit Bier ausunabhängigen Brauereien," we chose the "Loorenchopf" route, which leads from Maur via the Forch River to Schwammendingen. First, we hiked through the Bachtobel ravine up to the Forchdenkmal (officially

Shortly after the rain stopped at 9:00 a.m., we hopped on our steel bikes and pedaled along the Rhine to Waldshut. After a short while, the sun appeared in the sky, and it quickly warmed up, and we were really sweating. 😅 A beautiful and successful ride.

We had an early start this morning because we had to board the express train to Tbilisi. To my surprise, the train was modern, had comfortable seats, and had Wi-Fi, even if it didn't work. After a five-hour journey (talk about express 😀), we reached the familiar Tbilisi.
Once there, we strolled through

After a meager breakfast 🤪, we set out to explore Batumi. First, we took the ARGO cable car, which opened in 2013, up Anuria Mountain (256 m above sea level). From there, we had a breathtaking view of the city and its sea. The skyline was impressive—we weren't expecting something so modern. It's really

Instead of visiting Gelati Monastery (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), which was unfortunately undergoing restoration work and therefore closed to the public, we visited Motsameta Monastery 😇.
Motsameta is located in western Georgia, not far from the city of Kutaisi. The monastery plays a significant role

After breakfast, we drove into the lowlands to Gori, which, with its population of just under 50,000, lies northwest of Tbilisi. The city's name comes from the still-preserved fortress Goris-Tsikhe ("Fortress on the Hill"), which was known in Georgian documents under the name Tontio since the 7th century

Above Stepantsminda, on the 2,170-meter-high Kvemi Mta ("Lower Mountain"), lies the Gergeti Trinity Church (Gergetis Sameba), built in the 14th century. The pilgrimage site is connected to Stepantsminda by road and pilgrimage route. We were chauffeured up to the church by minibus. The complex consists

We continued on to Ananuri and the Zhinvali Reservoir, where the castle of the same name is located. It dates from the transition from the late Middle Ages to the early modern period; its oldest parts date back to the 13th century.
The complex includes religious, secular, and military buildings. The castle

Today we went to Stepantsminda with a detour to Mtskheta and Ananuri. Curve after curve, we wind our way out of the plain, always with the Greater Caucasus in sight!
Archaeological research, such as that at the Samtavro burial ground, proves that the city of Mtskheta has existed for over 3,000 years

Today we had the opportunity to explore Tbilisi and get to know it better. A colorful mix of many styles and eras left its mark on us.
From the Narikala Fortress, you have a wonderful view of the sea of houses. The fortress was built at the end of the 3rd century and was the most important medieval castle

Yesterday we ate like kings in France – snails, trout a la miller's style, and crème fraîche – accompanied by a fine Alsatian wine. After this delicious meal, we "rolled" back to our accommodation in a good mood.
In the morning, the wind was already blowing strongly and it stayed that way all day. Fortunately
