The few sunny days this autumn have so far been either during the week or already planned for something else. The forecast for today is for sunshine again, so I take the chance to go for a little ride before the last autumn colours disappear from the trees. On the way to Grünberg and further to Lich…

A weekend in the Eifel: meet friends, chat, play, and go for a hike. The tour is a Komoot suggestion from Blankenheim. The way back partially covers the first few kilometers of the Ahrsteig, but shortens some loops on narrow, easy-to-walk paths.
At the end we do a little tour through the old town center…

I actually want to use what is probably the last nice late summer day for a long tour. I didn't consider that today at 2:43 p.m. is the start of autumn, meaning that summer is officially over. But the weather is sticking to that. (Since when does the weather actually stick to the calendar? It's as if…

The weather forecast is too unstable for another multi-day tour in the second week of vacation, but a day tour with rail support is definitely possible today. Unfortunately, the "support" is once again typical of rail (see below). But first to the actual bike tour, where the beautiful aspects clearly…

The last stage brings things full circle, at least if you ignore the "feeder route" on the first day. In Rotenburg I do another lap around the city and then continue on the Fuldatal cycle path to Bad Hersfeld. You could spend a little more time here. But when I checked the train connections from Fulda…

The day starts much better in terms of weather than yesterday ended. The sun even comes out from between the clouds from time to time. That won't stay that way, but more on that later.
After the last stages led down the Werra, it's now up the Fulda. Today's destination is Rotenburg a.d. Fulda. But first…

Eisenach was a small but nice detour from the main route. Today we're going back to the Werra and then further downstream. There are hardly any significant climbs, so a slightly longer tour is possible today. I'm leaving the final destination of the stage open for now and only book my hotel in the afternoon…

Since today's cycling stage was not demanding, there is still enough time for a long hike peppered with real highlights. This leads from the hotel to the Drachenschlucht, an impressive gorge with some very narrow passages. Further on, there are a few rocky paths with impressive rock formations, then…

Today's stage from Vacha to Eisenach is comparatively short and leads largely through the Werra valley, so it is also quite flat and therefore easy to ride. The route changes several times between Hesse and Thuringia and passes several memorials to the former inner-German border. You can tell which of…
The way to work and back home - with small deviations, always the same route, so nothing worth recording regularly and probably nothing that anyone here wants to see regularly. On some days, however, there are motifs worth seeing that make you glad that you always have a camera with you on your cell…
