It's great that clubs like this exist… And when you see what they've accomplished… Some people could learn a thing or two from them… 👌 ...

Cycle path between Schutzbach and Biersdorf completely destroyed here by forest workers (date 9.6.2022) and at a good 200 m completely impassable because of tree trunks, branches, undergrowth and garbage on the way, no indications from either side, what a huge mess! 😡😡🤬🤬
