Stone railway bridge on the Glan–Blies cycle path (Nanzdietschweiler)

Highlight • Bridge

A nice stretch from Glan-Münchweiler with lots of trees, so a shady drive. This cycle path or this section is not paved, but easy to drive on. A detour to the water basin, which is signposted, is worth it.

That was definitely enough altitude for my winter fitness level on my flat route through the West Palatinate moorland. 😅 My favorite bike won't be put back on the roller anymore, it's definitely more fun outside! Since almost everyone went outside today anyway because of the election, we had to ride at walking pace on the Seewoog and also at …

...in cycling in Ramstein, and no one goes. Unfortunately, the time trial wasn't well attended at the start and finish. Apparently, there was more activity along the course. After work, you could still see the men's race and their awards ceremony. It was cool!
