After a night in the guesthouse of the castle hotel and a noble breakfast, we're on the road again. We set off shortly before 9:00 a.m. for Murten. The "Chef Murten" leads me through the town and back out again. Nice old town, but unfortunately open to motorized traffic. It's a

Lavorgo is defeated! The Krone in Uetendorf is ignoring our long-standing bottom-place hotel rankings. Nevertheless, we feel a sense of gratitude towards the hotel, as it drives us out at 7:30 a.m. and, after loading up, straight to the bakery for breakfast – or something like

7th and final leg to the halfway point of Ascona! We undocked in Motto at 9:15 a.m. and continued down into the valley to Biasca. It already felt like 25°C at the start, and it wasn't getting any cooler. We'd barely taken off when we made a quick stop at the Seravalle hilltop castle

After a peaceful night at the beautiful Gasthof Kreuz in Mühledorf SO (kreuz-muehledorf.ch), we set off shortly after 9:00 a.m. after a hearty breakfast. Our destination is the bike shelters in Pratteln and Ramlinsburg. 60 (and 72) kilometers lie ahead of us. A bit of ups and downs
