After the constant rain in the morning, I took advantage of the sun and temperatures around 10° and went on a tour to Wehlen.

At the end of the holiday, a tour on the Elbe Cycle Path in the best weather! Since there were no crowds on the road, it was really fun.

I simply cycled out toward Rathen and enjoyed the autumnal Elbe Valley. On the way back, I saw Pyrenean autumn crocuses. Discovered something new again 🤔😉🚴

July 4, 2023,Freiluftgalerie in Pirna, danach Entspannungstour an der Elbe :-)

Today I still had 2 appointments to do in Pirna. So got the bike out of the garage and off we went.
In the Schmiedestraße I looked at some paintings from the large open-air gallery, created by local artists. The motto was "Between Worlds" and was organized by the Art Association of Saxon Switzerland.
Since the weather was wonderful again …

On the left-hand cycle path, there is a diversion in Pirna and then several construction sites, which you have to pass carefully.

Today, in spring-like weather with 14 degrees Celsius, I walked along the Elbe to Rathen and back again. I noticed that the observation tower on the castle ruins in Wehlen has been completed. Thus, the town of Wehlen has completed another landmark 📸😉👻.

The weather report has issued a severe weather warning for today. Despite this, I tried a trip to the railway world in Kurort Rathen, with sunshine at 28-32 degrees and scorching humidity. First of all, I arrived home dry and without any heat problems as I had taken enough liquid with me.
