Today finally, the "Day of German Unity" was almost over, I wanted to tell Komoot: Yes, I am still here. The initial stress in the Arena is finally subsiding, the spirit, my spirit, can finally breathe a little.
And during the day, thoughts went through my head: DDR/Suhl ....... End of studies/my own

I am standing in my garden, happy that the green of the lawn is finally green, when my neighbor comes out of her house, on a wonderfully sunny Sunday morning. Our conversation revolves around what she has planned for today. I was so curious. The Aeolian harp, if I knew it, she wants to visit, because

When the sun rose this morning, I also rose - 6:45 am. No, I got up. It was absolutely wonderful how the sun shone right over the horizon, around a house into our bedroom. I could have gotten up much earlier, but for reasons of common sense, I just stayed lying down and read the newspaper on my phone

Today, a short errand including coffee and chocolate cake took me to Vollradisroda. The good news is that you can now be served again in the main building of the restaurant. This hasn't been possible for many years because it was only intended as a flea market. They have very nicely redecorated the dining

It's a good thing that the Ilm still exists here. Further up, around Oettern, it can look completely different. The sinkholes towards Kranichfeld always branch off a bit. What am I saying, a bit, quite a lot. It emerges near Rudolstadt. Around Mellingen, however, it's back again. In Taubach, however

Do I ride, or do I not ride? 36° and it's going to get even hotter. Yes, I have to. The flowers are already waiting. So, 2 hours beforehand, I keep drinking water, sip by sip - from the tap. It will be fine.
Rest a little longer - whoops, 4 PM, time to go.
Put on cycling clothes, out the door - wow, it

If you want to see a lot of beauty,
you must go to Belvedere.
To enjoy flowers,
that surround the meadows.
In the Orangerie,
where they sprout like never before.
However:
You can gladly look at them,
but keep your fingers away from them.
The poem only came about because of the last two lines, which I found on

The Säben Monastery is managed by 11 nuns. They perform various tasks, such as tending the monastery garden or caring for needy people, as stated in a brochure I read the day before yesterday. On our way up, perhaps in anticipation of meeting real nuns, a local told us that no nuns had lived there for

After another copious hotel breakfast in a well-kept wooden ambiance, we drove by private car towards Fane-Alm.
Actually, we didn't want to leave our 900m altitude hotel nest again. Oh well. So down into the valley and then after 20 km steeply back up, to get into a taxi after 1400 meters of altitude

It's so geared towards children that even adults have fun having been here because the children feel so comfortable. You don't even feel the altitude of about 2040m, much to my surprise. Down in the valley 35°, up here a pleasant 24°, with a constantly caressing wind. You couldn't ask for more here in

There is plenty to see here in the Dolomites, and sometimes completely unknown things too. To my surprise, this landscape was formed by rain and not because it once stood in the sea. As long as the stone is still on the pyramid, everything is OK. But as soon as it falls off, the pyramid is lost and destroyed by the rain.

The facility features the largest preserved fresco cycle from the Middle Ages, created in the 14th century.
It goes up a short, medieval bumpy path. Very pleasant this short path, after our walk through the vibrant life of Bolzano's old town.
South Tyrol has around 800 castles and palaces, by the way

I was lying on my couch, doing nothing, with nothing on my mind. I saw a beautiful green forest picture, and then something happened to me.
And already I was in the saddle and soon in my beloved nature. It can happen so quickly, I thought to myself. It only took a clear hint, just one forest picture
