The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 40,075 kilometers. Today, I had 21,000 kilometers on the clock near Talheim, which means I've already cycled more than halfway around the globe.



A beautiful day is forecast, with temperatures expected to exceed 30 degrees Celsius again today, so we hop

A short break at the Dax winery in Ernst on the Moselle.

Of course, we'll take our bikes and explore the Moselle.



Today we'll first cycle downstream on the left bank of the Moselle towards Cochem. The cycle path directly along the Moselle is well-developed and easy to ride. Once you've left the "tourist

At 105 kilometers long, the Enz is the longest left tributary of the Neckar River. It rises in Enzklösterle in the northern Black Forest and flows into the Neckar between Besigheim and Walheim.



Today, we want to follow the Enz for a few kilometers. We start at the cemetery in Kleingattbach. Through the

Hoffenheim's home game in Sinsheim.



We don't want to go to the game, but on match days, the "Elfmeter" is open, a popular fan hangout with a good currywurst and a cold "Flötzinger" beer.

We've done this kind of "Elfmeter tour" before, always on different routes. Today we're going via Bad Rappenau – Siegelsbach

This tour had been on our "we want to do" list for a long time.



This morning, we made a spontaneous decision – today is a good day for it.



We take the tram to Mosbach to start the "Wanderbahn Tour." We'll skip Mosbach itself, whose historic old town is worth a stroll, and head straight through Elzpark

Rain, rain, rain...



...the Great Regen and the Little Regen become the Black Regen near Zwiesel, which then merges with the White Regen near Blaibach and then flows into the Danube as the Regen, a left tributary in Regensburg after 190 kilometers.



We start our Regen Valley tour in Chamerau and first visit

"A bit of pedaling..." would be my Swiss friend's suggestion; here we say "a bit of driving around."



I started out without a destination, but still had a visit to one of my favorite places in the back of my mind – the Annalinde.

This mighty, approximately 300-year-old small-leaved linden tree is an impressive

The weather radar shows sunny spells between thick (rain) clouds. We take a risk and drive to the Schäffer farm shop between Lauffen and Nordheim to pick up cucumbers.



Thick clouds also hang over the Heuchelberg as we drive up the Heuchelberg through the Grafenberg area. From up here, from the Grafenbergweg

The weather is perfect today, so we'll get our bikes out and head off for a Kraichgau tour to Sulzfeld.



First, we'll cycle towards the Schluchten sports field in the Leintal valley, then along the new cycle path to Massenbach and via the Krainbachhöfe farms to Massenbachhausen. On the outskirts of Massenbachhausen

A short break at Lake Brombach.



Lake Brombach, a reservoir, is the largest lake in the Franconian Lake District and consists of three lakes: the Great Brombach, the Little Brombach, and the Igelsbach. We extend our tour to Lake Altmühl, cycling along the Altmühl tributary.



We start the tour at the forest
