Highlight • Viewpoint

The Saar cycle path is really easy to ride. From Konz, you can follow the Saar from the mouth of the Saar into the Moselle to Sarreguemines. The towpath then follows the Saarkohle Canal.

Saarschleifen half marathon:
A nice tour with a bad pre- and post-ride organization, route/tour is highly recommended, the event only if you have "money left over", otherwise not. Related video is yet to come.

Today's first attempt to finish the Saarschleifen Bike half-distance with a 625Wh battery failed shortly before the end. Despite a battery-friendly driving style (the first 25 km only up to a maximum of 175% support), the battery died about 4 km from the finish. 😩
