Vannes is the "second" capital of Brittany. It wasn't destroyed in World War II, so the old town around the cathedral, with its original half-timbered houses, survived. There was once a naval battle, but that was in 56 BC, when Caesar defeated the rebellious Veneti in southern Brittany and named the

Near Carnac, there are three large megalithic fields, stretching over 4 km and containing 2,792 (!) menhirs. Why these rows of stones were erected, or what their purpose was, is still unclear. The fields are now fenced off because the heather that grew between the stones was trampled down by the crowds

Auftakt zur Megalithen-Besichtigung!🪨Unerwartet sind wir auf der Fahrt nach Carnac direkt an den Steinreihen von Kerzerho bei Erdeven vorbeifahren. 1129 Menhire, bis zu fünf Meter hoch, in 10 Reihen aufgestellt, waren es wohl ursprünglich. Leider wurden diese beim Bau der Landstraße stark beschädigt, so dass die Reihen nicht mehr vollständig sind. Trotzdem noch beeindruckend!

Port-Louis was fortified with a citadel by the Spanish at the end of the 16th century, and Cardinal Richelieu established the first trading post for the East India Company shortly thereafter. After a new trading port was built on the opposite side of the bay in Lorient in 1666, the town declined.

On the not entirely direct route to Brittany (we wanted to avoid the motorways around Paris), we turned south before Reims and drove via Troyes, Sens, and Orléans to Tours, where we spent the night. Before Tours, we made a detour to the Château de Chambord, where, although we couldn't tour the castle

A short dog walk from the "Hohe Buche" hiking car park takes us first toward the hamlet of Geishügelhof before we take the turnoff toward the forest. A narrow, unfortunately tick- and wood-bore-infested path leads us through the forest, where we take the first path at the "Fuchssprung" intersection and

This time a little more detailed...😉Today's trip was planned very spontaneously, which backfired a little bit, because due to the Komoot tour name "Traumschleife Elfenlay"🧚♀️, I didn't even check beforehand whether it was correct... It wasn't! A maximum of 20% of our route in the last few kilometers

After a long break, I went cycling again today. The holiday was a good opportunity, and the weather was great.☀️ The battery 🔋 seems to have survived the several-month break quite well. Some of the dirt roads I used are more suited to mountain bikes with coarser tires.😏 I had to be quite careful not

A very entertaining excursion to the listed old town of Zieriksee. 😀 There are several large free parking lots on the edge of the old town, from which you can easily walk to the center. Many sights in a small area. We were particularly impressed by the Noordpoort and Zuiderpoort (city gates from the

A short excursion on the last day to the picturesque island of Saint-Cado, connected to the mainland by a small bridge. The small church, built by the Templars, is worth seeing. Also worth seeing is the well just below, which is only visible at low tide. A beautiful path leads around the island. The
