Sh... tour with 2 km of pushing the bike through mud and bumpy roads and then a flat tire. We had a spare tube but no pump 🤣. A young man from Wernigerode helped us out by driving me to the nearest restaurant in his car where I could borrow a pump. Thank you all!

The path through the Wormke Valley to the cafe in Mandelholz is unsuitable for touring bikes (primeval forest). My wife gave me the red card twice. From Schierke, the route over the Hexenritt with its concrete paving is also very challenging; full suspension and fat tires are recommended.
