After finding a prime spot for our tent last night, I treated a couple who, to my surprise, were using the dirt road as a shortcut to an unintentional peep show. I briefly considered moving, but everything was already set up and they didn't seem to be looking for trouble. The night was very restful

Not that many meters less elevation gain than yesterday, but much better distributed.
After a very restful night in a cheap biker hotel (room and breakfast were top-notch!), I headed north to Bad Hersfeld.
The first significant climb was very manageable and would mark my farewell to the Fulda River. So

What comes down, must go up. Would have been a nice motto too...
I knew what to expect today and that it would be hard work. But I wasn't thinking about that as I blasted down to Bad Vilbel. Great descent! Bad Vilbel itself was very nice, although very crowded due to the Hessian Day.
I was thrilled with

The Wahoo was a bit eccentric today. Delayed response, ignored breaks, GPS outliers. Just did a firmware update. We'll see how it goes.

So I turned onto

I had to put up the outer tent around 2:30 a.m. That night, I was prepared for it, and was able to go back to sleep quickly. It then rained quite a bit until the morning.
Then, in the dry, I set off directly to Belfort – the original purpose of the trip. Unfortunately, I couldn't admire the magnificent

The best start to the day. Slept soundly in the tube hotel, refreshed with coffee in the morning. And then let the Schötener Grund roll into Apolda.
The route along the Ilm River was also mostly downhill, so I was surprised when I arrived in Saaleck and saw familiar panoramas from last year.
