Today to Minden in good weather. The chain was squeaking, so I cleaned and oiled it again. The crate is very helpful for that. The rear wheel spins freely when you place the bike on the back of the crate.

Morning fog, otherwise beautiful autumn weather. End of today's tour in Bodenwerder, the town of the lying baron Münchhausen.

First loaded onto the Eurovelo 13, Iron Curtain Trail. The climb was short but brutal. The speedometer briefly showed 18 percent, according to the navigation 13. Most of the time I was on the Werratal cycle path until Hann. Münden. In drizzle at the end.

In the morning, only 5 degrees, felt like 2, in the Thuringian Forest. I didn't go down the Rennsteig. I wasn't sure how coarse the gravel was there and if the road had been wet, I would have had to clean the chain afterwards. Unfortunately, there was still an unpleasant climb on the road I took.

After a longer break at an ice cream parlor, it stopped raining. We continued partly on the Ilm-Radweg and the Rennsteig-Radweg. After Gehren, I rode on an old railway line. The uphill climb was slow but steady on good asphalt.

Until Ilmstadt Regen. There I met an elderly gentleman who, during a brief chat, said I could be his son. He is 80 years old. I replied that it couldn't be, otherwise he would have had to be a father at 7 years old.

Until Weimar the weather was good, then the rain came. I rode on the Thüringer Städtekette cycle path, partly along the Ilm river.
After 44.6 km, the phone's battery was dead. It couldn't be charged because there was moisture in the socket. For the last ten kilometers, I memorized the route as much as

Today further on the Saale-Radweg. Apart from the climb to the Burgberg at km 75, it was a nice ride. How this can be declared as a cycle path, however, is unclear to me. Perhaps one can cycle up with a mountain bike, I had to push occasionally and that with up to 14 percent gradient. In the opposite

Rode yesterday in sunshine. Today, however, on good paths and from Alsleben onwards on the Saale cycle path.

Did not pay attention to the trail surface during planning. Lots of concrete slabs and paths with coarse gravel. Finally, a poorly signposted detour.

Last day. From Verden, I took two crowded trains via Hannnover to Braunschweig, then cycled the last 12 km home. Maybe I'll continue the tour sometime. First to the mouth of the Weser, then along the North Sea coast, up the Elbe, and along the Saaleradweg cycle path to Halle.
