As already announced, there should be further discussions about the German-Turkish literature and encounter festival in Regensburg, which also included the presentation of our project vehicle.
Located in the Dutch municipality of Zaanstad, the Zaanse Schans is a small, tranquil place with a multitude of beautifully restored houses as an open-air museum that was established with the intention of showing the historical heritage of this oldest "milling industrial area" in the Netherlands.
As relative newcomers on a section of the Main Cycle Path, we were quite astonished when we met Rita, who spent her short break this time with bicycle, panniers, tent and .... dog during a short break between Dettelbach and Volkach.
Wonderful early summer weather lures people outside, if possible into the green nature of the surrounding area. So it is not surprising that the many places for mobile homes on the Main near Kitzingen are largely occupied.
Once again, we wanted to explore a target path with the e-bike from the Prahljust campsite near Clausthal-Zellerfeld, this time it should go along the Rehberger Graben, which we wanted to ride coming from the Oderteich.
Between Sankt Andreasberg and Sonneberg there are not only many hiking and cycling destinations, but also the so-called Dreibrodestein, three massive blocks of granite, which should be the destination of today's cycling tour.
Today is supposed to be the day, because our goal is the unicorn cave near Scharzfeld, which we had already hiked to, but then came across closed doors.
We had already covered part of the way around the Geiseltalsee on foot, now we had to do the complete circuit by e-bike.
Once again, the glorious sunshine lured us onto our bikes and the decision was quickly made to drive down to the Sösetalsperre and circle it today.
As already reported, our friend Moritz from Osnabrück represented us at this year's meeting of the fan community of bicycle caravan builders and users in his own BTurtle bicycle caravan.
In 2022, Jörg again invited to the meeting of the bicycle caravan fans in Wunschendorf near Gera. Since we ourselves were busy at the time of the meeting at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, we asked our friend Moritz Hillebrand (Mobee Osnabrück) to take part in the event, not without the background of further experience in terms of traveling by e-bike and caravan trailer by train to collect.
Sheep provide us with wool, milk and meat and are among the oldest breeds of domestic animals known to anyone who has ever seen a flock of sheep.
Especially during the pandemic, the demand for "outdoor options" increased continuously. Well-preserved campers and caravans are hard to come by, and allotment plots near the city are certainly not available.
On the total of 13 kilometers between Laucha and Freyburg an der Unstrut, there are 26 display boards that provide informative knowledge about the region, the tradition of viticulture and the grape varieties that are indigenous and thrive here for the inclined reader on his hike or bike tour.
Again we wanted to do something like a half-day tour (a small picnic on the way in some beautiful surrounding) on the Unstrut cycle path with our HNF bikes, this time we had planned the section from Roßleben to Memleben.
We were cycling along the Unstrut river, where we came across the small town of Memleben, which is part of the Kaiserpfalz community in the western Burgenland district not far from Nebra and Freyburg.
Finne is a mountain range up to 370 meters high and around 23 km long in the Burgenland district in Saxony-Anhalt, which we had already hiked through several times.
Often there are the unexpected things in the course of the day that lead to an exciting encounter or the literal "salt in the soup", such as in the case of the Mango Velomobile parked in a parking lot, a fully covered, everyday bike that can function as sporty Velomobile too.
Already in 2004, relatively long sections of the cycle path along the Unstrut river were completed and the marking and signage as an Unstrut long-distance cycle path completed.
The Alpe Adria Cycle Path, also known as the Ciclovia Alpe Adria Cycle Path or the Italian Ciclovia Alpe Adria, is one of the best known, about 410 km long distance cycle path from the Austrian Salzburg (or if that does not suffice, already coming from Augsburg) across the Alps to the Italian Grado on the Adriatic coast.
