After my tour to the far north, today I'm back on home soil. What's more, the weather is fantastic and I have a lovely destination: Rose Island in Lake Starnberg. My successor as ferryman, Hermann, has a lot to do today because the last roses are blooming on the island. We're both happy to see each other…

If you use it, you lose it, so it's time to do something again. My destination today is Timmendorfer Strand. In my overzealousness I forgot to activate my app for internet access and so I drove for about 7 km without any reception. In a village I asked a man for directions and explained my situation…

We've been visiting friends on the Baltic Sea for a few days. Today we're going on a bike ride with Rosales, Gabi, Lutz, Willi and myself. In every village we pass through there are straw figures set up - a lovely tradition. Soon we'll be stopping for a break with coffee, fig cake and gooseberry pie…

Today, it's just a short stretch to Hanover, where dear friends are waiting for me. My sweetheart is also coming here and will be traveling on to California on the Baltic Sea tomorrow. My friends have a vacation home there, and we're allowed to stay there for a week. Perhaps I can be persuaded to drive…

The last few days have been exhausting due to the high temperatures. It cooled down noticeably overnight, and I was able to sleep well for the first time. Today I'm traveling via Göttingen to Ahlfeld/Leine, and instead of sweating, I've been feeling a bit cold at times. At least there's something you can do about it.

Not so far today, but it was still strenuous. There are no familiar places on my tour today, but I'll pass through small villages with beautiful half-timbered houses. My destination is the town of Witzinghausen, and after arriving at the city hotel, I'll take a shower. Afterwards, I'll explore the town…

It's supposed to get a bit warmer today, so I got out of bed at 5:00 a.m. and set off shortly after 6:00 a.m. I was actually freezing for the first hour, but after that it got steadily warmer. I made good progress on roads that were partly bumpy and partly good. I didn't take any time for the larger…

Since breakfast was served at my guesthouse today, I didn't leave until 7:45 a.m. It was still very pleasant, though, and so I made good progress. Today's tour takes me through the Bocksbeutel region, although, understandably, I have to forgo it for the time being. The route leads through picturesque…

Second day of my journey to the far north.
Start at 7:15 a.m. in still pleasant temperatures, unfortunately without breakfast, but at least with a power drink (suspected of doping) and a power bar. Soon I'm crossing the Weißwurst equator, the Danube, and the climbs and descents are swift. Beautiful villages…

I spontaneously decided to go up the holy mountain in Andechs again today. I'm taking the shortest route through the forest to Forst, down the steep mountain and via Stillern to Reisting. Then I'm going to Fischen along the Ammer and along the lake to Hersching. I used to walk via Kiental quite often…
