July 10, 2024,Saaleradweg-Etappe2:Von Hof nach Blankenberg

So today is the second stage of the Saale Cycle Path. From Hof on gravel roads and then it gets nice and hilly on very quiet country roads to Blankenstein. The Rennsteig also starts from here, maybe next time. So the motto for the day was: up and down, over and over again 😀. The shortest stage of the day, …

Monday, 23.0821 drove the entire day in pouring rain of varying intensity. In addition, after half of the way my cell phone and my GPS tracker said goodbye, so that I now have to assign the pictures by hand - which takes a little longer.
But all in all a nice tour and wonderful landscapes.

July 22, 2021,Von Harra nach Hof

Done, this morning we collected a lot of altitude again on the way to Hof. A little more sightseeing and then it's back home. What remains as a conclusion? Mostly positive. Except for the first two days, the weather was perfect, the tour was full of highlights, especially the "natural" ones. The nearly five hundred kilometers were demanding to difficult. …

September 20, 2022,Saaleradweg: 1. Etappe: Von Hof nach Blankenstein

Actually, the first stage should have been from Zell to Hof. Unfortunately, adversities forced us to reschedule and so we started our Saale cycle path in Hof. It goes over 8 stages to Barby, where the Saale flows into the Elbe. A tour that has it all, because the first three stages are anything but relaxing. You either need good …

August 1, 2022,7. Etappe: Harra - Hof (Saaleradweg)

In my opinion, this stage of the Saale cycle path is not suitable for family cycle tours. You are constantly driving on busy roads (sometimes very busy) and the signs are sometimes misleading. The beautiful sections are there, but you have to look for them.
