Gompertshausen Border Tower and Command Bunker

Highlight • Historical Site

From Gompertshausen you drive across the Thuringian-Bavarian border. The former border tower with bunker complex is particularly well preserved and is a reminder of the former separation.

Cycling is a source of joy for me. Except when I struggle up to a spring on my river tours! If it is in mountainous terrain! However, the beginning of the Franconian Saale was easy to reach, the cycle path along the river is 128 km long and is great for cycling.

First to the medieval market in Nes, then back home via Kön, a lot of headwind and cold

@Silvia accidentally deleted our first three tours and had to recreate them. I'd already thought about a meetup, but there were four of us, and it wouldn't have fit into our schedule. Maybe we can meet up at home sometime. Heading home tomorrow.
Best regards, Ilona and Robert
