September 19, 2021,Apfelradlrunde, Eröffnung 2021

Today opening of the Apfelradlrunde, around the Gehrenberg. The new bike path leads past fruit farms and through the apple orchards for about 38km. To Oberteuringen, Markdorf, Ahausen, Bermatingen and back to Deggenhausertal, around the Gehrenberg.
The signage could be a little better, I almost missed Ahausen, where apple princesses offered apple slices and the band played. In general, there …

October 3, 2021,🇩🇪🚲 Apfelradlrunde (ab Bermatingen)

Today we wanted to spend the still sunny October day on a bike ride and therefore decided on the new apple bike tour (Thank you Ingrid for this great tip!). Our "entry" was in Bermatingen at the grocery store, which may also offer a parking space on Sundays. In Bermatingen, the path led us past the Zollerstube (highly recommended for …

I rode the lap counterclockwise today and only left out the …

September 17, 2023,Apfelradl-Runde am Apfelradltag 2023

For Apple Cycling Day 🍊 today the weather was different than in previous years, perfect - warm and sunny. The best prerequisites for a successful day of action by the Gehrenberg-Bodensee tourism community.
I planned to ride the Apfelradl circuit counterclockwise and stick to the route as closely as possible. That almost worked. In Bermatingen I skipped the church and …
