The first bike tour to the Werratalsee was lovely. Oh yes, I almost forgot, I met Michele Joy, the musician and singer, at the lake.

June 23, 2025,🚴‍♀️ Fahrradtour zum Werratalsee

Today, I didn't feel like going home after work, so I started a little hike from the train station to the Werratalsee, where I hadn't been in a long time. It was quite stormy, and I had just made it home when a short rain shower came along.

June 13, 2024,🚴‍♀️ um den Werratalsee ⛵️🦆🦢🐠

My bike was almost crying because it had to stand alone in the dark basement for so long. Today I took it back on the road and made a little trip to the Werratalsee

Small round around the Werratalsee, in wonderful weather. There is an opportunity to swim and take a break.

Had an appointment with the doctor, left a bit earlier and probably did the last lap by bike to the lake.
