Today it was a mixture of beautiful paths along the Saale and pretty dull roads. The beautiful paths predominated, however. Unfamiliar, very melodic bird calls accompanied us, we even saw red-backed shrikes.
The temperatures were over 30 degrees, the wind was like a hairdryer and didn't bring any coolness.
We spent the night at the canoe club in Bernburg. A …

Today we went along the Saale. The weather was wonderful and we found plenty of places to stop for refreshments. The wind was sometimes very strong, but manageable. A really beautiful route, and the ferries were also running. We are all in good spirits and healthy.

Apart from the 5 km stretch of road with moderate traffic between Pfützthal and Zaschwitz, the route otherwise followed cycle paths, bike lanes, or agricultural tracks. For the most part, you ride on decent asphalt through a hilly landscape. The views – especially in sunshine – of fields, the colorful autumn foliage, and the meandering Saale River helped me ignore …

A really beautiful route. In Halle itself it is a bit complicated, you have to go around the harbor on busy roads (but with shoulders). From Brachwitz onwards it is just nature. The Wettiner Land presents itself with small castles and many steep rock faces on the right bank of the river. Picturesquely beautiful here. Because of the flat tire …

I went to Bernburg with Leo (provisional name of my new bike). The Saale cycle path was easy to ride and it was a great feeling to cycle in my hometown. As a reward, I was treated to a wonderful brunch (important because I was super hungry) :o
A few things about the tour:
1. My fitness leaves a lot …
