Hi guys and girls,
That was a "Marlboro" feeling, adventure, nature, and me - between heaven and earth - it was beautiful. Now I remember how much my left shoulder hurt last year - now? Like new!
I rode in low gear, practicing a smooth pedal stroke...
It went well, really good!
A successful start to the season.

After a long time I drove my beloved tour to Hanau again. You really shouldn't think how beautiful this route is for the most part 😍. After the visit to the hospital, there was a short stop at 🍦 "Eis und Liebe" 🍨, where unfortunately there was no more pumpkin seed ice cream today, but the chocolate and almond brittle …

Unfortunately, the beginning of the tour was lost (I don't understand why, as the navigation was continuous via Komoot).
The start was the Steinheimer Bridge, from there along the Kinzig to the Wolfgang monastery ruins.
Through the Bulau to the Barbarossa spring. Visit to the alpacas, who came closer again curiously.
Stopover at the Fatima Chapel “Maria Frieden”, Bernbach.
