Second to last, important stage: A few kilometers to Bodenfelde on the Weser. Then up to Amelith, to the first therapy house in Neues Land. A warm welcome, lunch, nice encounters with guests and employees.
Further up into the Solling: I didn't let myself be fooled by heading for the highest elevation

Unexpected luck today: For the first half of the tour there was a bit of a TAILWIND! I didn't even know what that felt like anymore. I'd say: very pleasant to be caressed like that!
Just as nice as the numerous encounters today. For a change, we cyclists had to operate a cable ferry with a hand crank

Well rested, I climbed the first 10 km to the last real summit of my tour, the Wasserkuppe. After almost 7 km of exhilarating descent, I went moderately downhill towards the finish on the best cycle paths, far from noisy streets (compliments, Hessen!). While I was thinking about where I could get something

The heat is not letting up. But neither am I.
Pleasant: fresh wind. Unpleasant: fresh (head)wind, on the first 50 km.
With a donation from my hosts, I set off in high spirits and was now able to cover the largest part of the last real summit, the Wasserkuppe in the Rhön (tomorrow). I find a quaint place

The dynamics of my hot bike tour:
Starting off fresh and briskly early in the morning. Hardly any breaks. Easy climbs. As the temperature rises, the pace slows down, breaks are more frequent and longer, bottles are refilled every hour. This is the hottest summer day so far. I noticed it.
And then a man

Freshly set off in the morning with a spontaneous donation for Neues Land. The heat caught up with me quickly. Vineyards face the sun, and the paths through them do too, of course. Grapes are brilliantly refreshing 🙂! I poured loads of liquid into myself. Cyclists help each other out - a great experience

Wow - after a good breakfast, only flat stretches, but also a fresh headwind, until km 90. Then it was a real climb into the mountains - bad luck for the altitude sponsor 😉! I'm exhausted, but also happily exhausted.
I wish the message of 'PEACE' not only to the wider world, but also to each of us. Also

A slightly shorter stage. It doesn't always have to be over 1000 meters in altitude. Now we're heading north again. That's why the wind is blowing - what's up with that? You northerners are welcome to leave it with you!
Fat fruit trees along the side of the road. Today delicious apples, pears, plums

For the highest peak today, it was a whopping 15 degrees cooler than yesterday - wonderful! The gradient of between 5 and 8% over almost 10 km was easily doable. The visibility at the top was relatively good - good prospects. Down (with a warm jacket) on 2 km of scree path at around 10 km/h, then almost

After 28 stages, I climbed my "local mountain" today and was warmly welcomed by 8 lovely people!
The day tour began in the fog and ended, as usual, with sultry temperatures. As a reward, there were a few raindrops on the last few meters.
GOOD VIEWS are not a discontinued model, but this special tour ends
