Great single trail, easy to ride. When it is wet, watch out for roots lying lengthways, because they are slippery!

May 20, 2024,🚵🏻‍♀️🥰🏁Abenteuer am Rennsteig #3 | den Glücksstein in die Saale geworfen 🍀

A super nice tour comes to an end. A tour full of adventure. The arrival and departure by train was unfortunately a bit disappointing and not at all cyclist-friendly, but the Rennsteig itself is definitely worth a bike trip.
We followed almost exclusively the original hiking route and encountered beautiful nature, friendly hikers and lots of roots 😉🥴

We have lived on the Rennsteig for 25 years. Now it was finally time to cycle the entire length. There will be three stages, Blankenstein to Neuhaus am Rennweg, then on to Oberhof and the 3rd stage to Hörschel.

We took the train from Ilmenau to Blankenstein, although it was already an adventure to get a ride on the train. …

I would like to thank my brakes and my chain. Gears 1 to 5, which were almost forgotten. You all did a great job.
My conclusion about the Rennsteig, from Hörschel to Blankenstein. The tour leaves nothing to be desired, there are even sections that told me, "do it and it will make you stronger"😀👍💪

So today is the second act of our odyssey. 🥴 Unfortunately in Masserberg there were no little gnomes 🧙 or a medium-sized miracle 🧞 that took care of my circuit. 🤷🏻 It continued to function without function. ⚙️ But since yesterday, despite all the adversities, things actually went well, we decided to continue our journey. 🤪 Today the challenge was …
