Eher kein "downhiller" und nicht gegen die Uhr. Wer mag mit Motor, ich trete lieber pur.
Beim wandern beginnt meine Spaßbremse bei km 15 ihre Arbeit - langsam, aber sicher😜.

JoSchBo went for a hike.

Dies ist eine "der frühe oder der späte Vogel-Tour", sprich: entweder bist Du vor 10°° oder nach 16°° vor Ort. Um 10:30 war der Parkplatz für PKW jedenfalls schon gesperrt und zahlreiche Busse drängten sich auf der engen Zufahrt zu den Roques. Wir haben dann am nächstgelegenen Mirador geparkt und sind ein Stück auf der Straße zurück gelaufen. Am Start wären wir trotzdem beinah umgedreht, denn es gab kaum ein Durchkommen🤯🤯(Bild-1). Aber keine Sorge, denn jeder Reisebegleiter dort mahnt: "Don't forget, the bus leaves in 30 minutes". Tatsächlich verdünnte sich das Treiben mit jedem Meter deutlich und so konnten wir die bizarren Lavaformationen vor der Kulisse des Teide dann doch meistens völlig ungestört betrachten. War schon imposant und kaum zu glauben, dass wir dabei nur 180 Höhenmeter überwunden haben - optisch sah es nach deutlich mehr aus😇. Übrigens: Wer gegen Abend auf der TF-21 fährt, für den lohnt sich eine kurze Sunset-Runde vom View Point "Llano de Ucanca", um die Farben im Abendlicht zu genießen. Dann ist der Großteil der hinteren Felsen zwar schon im Schatten versunken, aber von vorn leuchten die Felsen dafür um so schöner. (s. letzten beiden Fotos vom Vorabend)

There are a few parking spaces along the TF-21 for this magnificent tour. The namesake El Sombrero peak takes a backseat on this hike, as the view into the Teide Valley caldera is so breathtaking, it's hard to beat (for me, even more impressive than the view from Mount Teide itself). But take a look

Best caldera loop: Instead of fighting for parking at Roque de la Muchachos, park your car on the LP-4 below Pico de la Cruz. This saves you time, fuel, and stress, and you'll usually have the magnificent scenery all to yourself. ‼️ Parking spaces along the roadside are limited: The early bird catches

The last leg of my round trip began with a fantastic breakfast at my friend Stephan's. Then I headed toward the Rhine on the old "Balkantrasse" railway line. I had all the elevation gain from yesterday on my side today. A lunch break at a typical Cologne drinking hall, a Siegfähre for the "romantic part

As soon as I left the noise of the A2 behind me, I immersed myself in the absolute silence of the railway cycle path of the former Westphalian Railway – 25km of the best stretch, birdsong – a blessing😇.
After that, unfortunately, I continued on busy federal highways with barely visible bike markings

Waking up to morning sun - what a joy🌞. After the first climb, I encountered the obligatory flat tire, which is perfectly acceptable after almost 700km. The hole was quickly patched in the scenic surroundings, and next to the Holte moated castle, there was a 1,000-year-old oak tree with a green canopy

The mystical morning mist over the Weser Valley stood no chance against the brilliant sunshine, which accompanied me throughout the day (pictures 1 and 2 are only 50 minutes apart).
A short circular tour through Höxter, then it was up into the Teutoburg Forest. The bike paths here are really good and

Until this evening, I wasn't sure if the sun was still below us, because once again a thick band of clouds accompanied me...but then, Höxter 17°°: 🌞😎😇.
And speaking of the weather: heavy thunderstorms are forecast for the east next week. ⛈️&🏕️?? Not in the mood for that😜.
So I skipped the east route

The hike to the "black caves" is like a trip to Mars. At 2,100 meters altitude, with a biting, cold wind, there's no romance, but breathtaking panoramic views towards Teide (always on the left in the photos) and Pico Viejo. The paths to both peaks were closed due to snow, although the Spanish risk analysts
