I'm a highway star ..... Deep Purple must have cycled here for a long time too! Felt like almost exclusively on excellent cycle paths far from roads and villages, bolt-straight through the forest ..... often along streams and canals .... pure flow cycling👍.... in sections you always have to brake to

Today the path also led through vineyards, but more along beautifully shaded stream banks and without much altitude gain on the plains. One question that occupied us all day yesterday was: what on earth do they do with all the harvested grapes? We were able to clarify that in the evening at the restaurant

What a start, gently hilly at the foot of the Vosges mountains, winding through vineyards during the final stages of the grape harvest and time and again through the most picturesque (!) wine villages .... all that was missing were the vintner's daughters dancing a round dance in the respective market

After over 5 decades of being very satisfied on the go without poles, my knees, back, and age have now knocked on my door and asked if they couldn't have some poles..... well, if it has to be, let's give this a try..... after the usual good advice at my trusted mountain sports shop (Kolb in Kuppenheim

The originally planned day's stage seemed too daring to us, considering the weather report (rain and thunderstorms) and the hiking boots of a member of the hiking group that were falling apart. It would certainly have been the "highlight" in good weather conditions, but for us at that moment too demanding

2nd part of the tour back over a pass, the "Col du Ratteau" (approx. 2690m). It felt like we only went uphill once and downhill once, but it was long and partly steep. The magnificent weather, the snack with a view of Mont Blanc, and the curious trout(?) in the mountain lake made up for it again.

First day of the circumnavigation of the "Auguille du Fruit" over 2 passes (each approx. 2640 m). We are slowly picking up speed 👍. Dreamlike weather and wonderful panoramas make the altitude meters bearable. The destination, the "réfuge du Saut", surprises with real showers and a "rustic" landlady

A relaxed start to the 2026 family hut tour. After an easy journey yesterday, a nice walk to the first hut. It was a real highlight, essentially what you imagine a hut to be: small, 1 large room for everything, an outdoor trough with running cold water (yes, very cold) as sanitary facilities, super nice

The first tour of the year and, as expected, it was magnificent! It's wonderful and a gift, what the mountains do to us! The heart opens up and expands, the mind empties (OK, that can happen quite quickly for some people anyway 🤓) and the mix of exertion, nature experiences, flow, and contemplation

The forests are already colorful
The stubble fields are yellow
And autumn is beginning
Red leaves are falling
Gray mists are rolling in
The wind is blowing cooler... etc.
A wonderful day, the pictures speak for themselves!

T25-12 Poggio alla Malva-Bologna
Eigentlich wollte ich heute nichts mehr groß schreiben, aber: die Toskana hat‘s zum Abschied nochmal sowas von krachen lassen… Abfahrt in der Morgendämmerung und dann das Schauspiel, wenn die Sonne langsam zwischen den Sagniovesehügeln hervorblinselt und sich leichter Bodennebel die Zypressen umschmeichelnd durch das eine oder andere Tal ergießt…. Morgenstimmung…

I actually didn't want to write much more today, but: Tuscany really rocked it as a farewell... Departure at dawn and then the spectacle of the sun slowly peeking through the Saggiovo hills and a light ground mist caressing the cypress trees as it spread through one valley or another... Morning atmosphere

T25-11 Monteriggioni-Poggio alla Malva
Der letzte „richtige“ Radeltag heute 🥺. Dafür hat sich die Toskana wahrlich nochmal von ihrer Schokoladenseite gezeigt, Winewonderland pur, Castelle, Weingüter, hügelige Agrarflächen … einfach nur schön! Am Ende sind wir noch lange einem recht schönen und ganz gut befahrbaren Schotterradweg entlang des Arno gefolgt bis zur heutigen Unterkunft. Unterwegs…

The last "real" day of cycling today 🥺. Tuscany truly showed off its best side once again: pure wine wonderland, castles, vineyards, rolling farmland... simply beautiful! At the end, we followed a rather nice and quite rideable gravel bike path along the Arno River for a long time to our accommodation

T25-10 Montalcino-Monteriggioni
Heute mal wieder eine superbe Streckenführung! Im italienischen Straßenverkehr schwimmen wir inzwischen recht routiniert mit 👍. Neben „der üblichen“ Landschaft durch malerische Vororte von Siena und dort eine Sightseeingtour durch die verwinkelte Altstadt.
Es waren wieder viele Rennradler auf der Straße: toll gepflegte italienische Edelracer mit tief gebräunten Matadores allen…

Another superb route today! We've become quite familiar with Italian traffic by now 👍. Besides the "usual" scenery, we cycled through the picturesque suburbs of Siena and then did a sightseeing tour through the winding old town.
There were plenty of road cyclists on the road again: beautifully maintained

A wonderful conclusion, mostly along the canal, but also picturesque wine villages again and, to the delight of some members of our group, also a few meters of gravel 💁.... afterwards, a stroll through the old town of Obernai with breakfast in a street café, a shorter but very well-rounded final day
