Our last stage from Cochem to Koblenz was a bit disappointing, as it led along a busy road for 2/3 of the way 😳. However, the last section, parallel to the vineyards, was quite idyllic.
We also liked the core of Kobern-Gondorf, where we took our lunch break. And Winningen, shortly before Koblenz, surprised

This morning we left Traben-Trarbach - a town on the Moselle that we actually expected a little more from. Between the Moselle, vineyards and smaller villages, the Moselle Cycle Path often led us alongside roads.
A former school colleague had given me the tip to definitely visit Beilstein, the Sleeping

The Moselle Cycle Path led us further to Traben-Trabach today. Vineyards and pretty Moselle towns were our companions.
After half the time, we arrived in Bernkastel-Kues. You absolutely must visit this little town: magnificent half-timbered houses and a beautiful market square invite you to linger. We

Today we continued from Trier to Piesport. All in all, there was nothing spectacular - we cycled steadily along the Moselradweg and enjoyed the views of the vineyards 🍇🍇. We took a break in a nice beer garden in Schweich. In between, there was an opportunity to refresh ourselves at a water-treading

Today we continued from Mettlach to Trier. The first section of the tour was particularly beautiful: along a high-level path with views of the Saar🤩.
We took a break in Saarburg, a cute town with nice cafés, geraniums, the Saarburg waterfall right in the middle of town, and a castle. With a great view

This year, @Hennydo1 and I are out and about on our bikes again - this time along the Saar, Moselle, and Rhine. We started today in Saarbrücken. We rode along the Saar Cycle Path to Mettlach - passing the Völklingen Ironworks (a truly gigantic industrial monument), Saarlouis, and Merzig. It was hot

The last evening of our tour—and one final highlight. Arguably the most traditional restaurant in Lübeck and highly recommended 👍😋

We left Ratzeburg this morning under rather cloudy skies. Along the shores of Lake Ratzeburg, we first headed through the forest on challenging paths: cobblestones with steep inclines, uneven singletrack... Definitely great for hiking, but a bit unsuitable for touring bikes 😅.
But Mölln was absolutely

Since we had tickets for the Schlossspiele (The Merry Widow) for tonight and also a voucher for a boat trip on the Schwerin lakes, we decided not to go on a proper bike ride today, but rather just drive into Schwerin and look around a bit. And we would have missed out on a lot of beautiful things

Today we continued from Wismar to Schwerin. In the village of Mecklenburg, we met a dear friend of mine from back then, who knows the area like the back of his hand and happily took on the role of our guide 😁.
He also knew the Prignitz fish smokehouse – a very idyllic spot on the upper Lake Schwerin

Today we headed from Schlossgut Groß Schwansee back onto the Baltic Sea Coastal Trail towards Boltenhagen and Wismar. Fields on one side, the Baltic Sea on the other, and the occasional stretch through the forest: the route is a dream and, despite Komoot's warnings about off-grip sections, is really

The stretch from the Herrentunnel to our next accommodation – Schlossgut Schwansee – was simply beautiful. The sun had now broken through, and we first drove to Travemünde. Along the way, we admired the beautiful thatched-roof houses in Pöppendorf. In Travemünde, we were surprised by a small but very

Today, we drove back into Lübeck from our accommodation to get to know the city a little better. It was very rainy this morning, but thankfully, we made it through Lübeck with dry feet. You should really spend a whole weekend there.
At lunchtime, we continued on toward Boltenhagen. A shuttle bus took

Before our journey home, we did a very lively city tour in Koblenz today to learn a little more about the city😄. It was worth it. As a crowning finale, we treated ourselves to an ice cream sundae from eGeLoSIa, the best ice cream parlor in Koblenz (egelosia.de) 🍨🍨😋
