August 22, 2023,Durch das Sinntal von Gemünden bis nach Zeitlofs und wieder zurück

Due to the heat today, the stops at the two Kneipp facilities were real highlights.
After all the beautiful bike tours in the Altmark, the last two days back home were really great again.

Relaxed half-day tour through the Sinntal, partly on the route of the former Rhön Express.

My 4th bike tour from Bad Brückenau to Gemünden am Main. A flat route. In Obersinn there's coffee, cake, and a hamburger toilet. In Burgsinn there's also a coffee and cake charging station.
