There are small, shallow bathing areas everywhere. Lots of space to enjoy peace and quiet. The water is crystal clear and clean.
One request: Please take a garbage bag with you and leave the bathing areas clean.

It was a pleasure to ride this tour again. Even though the wind was quite annoying and exhausting. I'm sure the next bout of tension will come. 😬 8.5/10

Finally nature again, finally gravel, trails and forest paths again, finally the avoidance of annoying road warriors again, in their speeding piles of metal. Instead, a deer crossing my path. Super nice tour! 🥰

After the original wheels of my Bianchi are already gone after a few hundred kilometers. The stress with the seller led to a break of weeks, …

Vorneweg, the altitude meter data and presumably also the summit are out-and-out nonsense from Komoot/Garmin. The tour is as flat as a chicken breast. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Instead, it offers a lot of gravel, about 20 km of asphalt at the beginning, after the first half trails, meadows and trails disguised as a mud pit. Today the rain joined in. But hey, …

Today I finally decided to visit the two lakes south-east of Halle/Saale. The paths were more interesting than the actual destination.

As a special house challenge, I caught a wasp sting in my thigh after 10 km on a forest trail. Luckily I haven't developed an allergy to it yet.

The legs felt uncomfortable all day, so the way home should be direct. Furthermore, rain and thunderstorms were announced around 7 p.m., which confirmed me. So I drove relaxed towards the sun. After some asphalt, I spontaneously deviated from the route and drove left along the Elster basin on a great narrow trail. That was it then with directly ... …
