The Rinnetahl cycle path goes from Bad Blankenburg to Königsee. Very nice bike path. Along small villages. Away from the street. Very romantic and opportunities to rest are also available.

Today we went on a shopping trip to Königsee. Very nice weather and the wonderful Rinnetalradweg. We immediately headed for the bike shop in the Königsee industrial area and had the gears adjusted. Good service. It was another successful morning.
