This had even been burned once before and rebuilt again, so dear cyclists, honor these beautiful places and make sure that this time it is preserved.

Between 1950 and 1972, a total …

Our sunny trip around the Großkayna lake took us past beautiful butterfly meadows, bright rapeseed fields and flowering, buzzing trees full of bees 🐝...
In the bird sanctuary, we could observe birds of prey, wild geese and ducks. Finally, we landed in the middle of the local herd of horses and were surrounded by the trusting animals, who made no …
