June 21, 2025,Von Kusel zum Bostalsee

Today we went cycling again after a long break... Since it was too hot for us, we headed to neighboring Saarland, taking the St. Wendler Land rail cycle path, and cycled around Lake Bostal. And although it's hard for me as a Palatinate native, I have to give Saarland a huge thumbs-up. At least in the part of the country …

The railway cycle path, newly built about two years ago, is fantastic. Great smooth asphalt, excellent signage, and lovely, interesting rest areas. I cycled from Türkismühle to Schwarzerden, to the Ostertalbahn depot. It's an interesting route with a tunnel and two bridges (you can see the other from each bridge). Afterwards, I made a detour to Bostalsee and cycled around …

June 8, 2023,1.Etappe: Von Kusel nach Nonnweiler auf dem Fritz Wunderlich Weg und dem Bahnradweg Sankt Wendeler Land (Eröffnung: 7.5.2023) mit Umrundung Bostalsee

Relatively spontaneously, after brief information, I planned a bike tour from Kusel to Trier. The train at 7:14 a.m. left Kirchheim for Kusel this morning. Here we went directly to the Fritz Wunderlich Weg, a railway line of the Westrichbahn that was developed into a cycling and hiking trail. Beautiful, relaxed bike route with information boards on the history of …

Leaving early protects you from the heat, but also from ice cream parlors being open. Luckily, salvation awaits you at your destination! 🍨☕️ Olive oil ice cream was delicious.

October 28, 2024,🚉🚴‍♂️Kusel - Bierfeld - Türkismühle🌞🚉

Today I went from Kusel in the Palatinate to Bierfeld and back to Türkismühle.

From Kusel I used the "Fritz Wunderlich cycle path" which is unpaved and goes over an old railway line that ends in Freisen.

From Freisen I continued on the "Bahnradweg Sankt Wendeler Land" which ends in Bierfeld in Saarland.
