We set off on our bikes from our hometown to Schwäbisch Hall, where we parked our bikes and walked through the town, fortified ourselves with a delicious meal in the Posthörnle and then continued along the Kochertal via Braunsbach, Döttingen to Künzelsau. The cycle path through the forest was closed, so we took the B19 cycle path to Gaisbach and …

A dream tour along the Kocher, a highlight in terms of scenery and exemplary in terms of the condition of the path.

Today there was a strong headwind and it was cold on top of that.

Was still ne nice and demanding round.

The Hohenlohe open-air museum in Wackershausen is worth seeing, I have to go there separately.
