July 8, 2023,Durch die Biosphäre zum Frühstück nach Münsingen

The nice weather announced was used to go through the biosphere or, as the residents say, through the "Platz" (former military training area) to Münsingen, where we enjoyed a somewhat later breakfast.
Was delicious.
On the way back, some of the calories are used up again.

The biosphere area on the former military training area is always worth a tour.
In autumnal weather and "only" 12 degrees on the Alb you have nature and the very well paved paths almost to yourself.
At first I need at least a little effort to start driving. But once I'm in the saddle...

In the late morning, we cycled through the biosphere reserve to Münsingen. Although we were completely alone, we encountered a lot of road cyclists on the way back. We had lunch at the Alb-Fetz restaurant in Münsingen.

After work, you can let off steam in the biosphere reserve.
At this time, you can be out and about in nature all by yourself

At the end of the first working day after the holiday we drove through the Biosphere and exhausted ourselves.

Basically, the route and the landscape are too beautiful to hunt through, but you are almost alone there in the evening at that time.
