My tired back needed a hiking break. And since the daily commute to work has been on my bike for the past few days, I thought I'd go for a bike ride. In our bumpy area, people are happy to be able to get along without a big climb. This worked quite well on the former Fritz-Wunderlich-Weg and Glan-Blies-Weg railway …

Gallows!... Cherries!... and Fritz Wunderlich.

Today I'm starting a circular bike tour in Oberkirchen, just beyond the valley bridge, on the Fritz Wunderlich Cycle Path, which takes its name from the former star tenor "Fritz Wunderlich," through his hometown of Kusel to Altenglan.

From here, continue on the Glan-Blies Cycle Path.
