August 12, 2022,Blockline Loop 3 mit persönlicher Note

I rode Loop 3 of the Blockline, see blockline.bike, to Seiffen. From the café, the main street was declared a dead end due to construction work. That sounds like traffic calming and I couldn't see many cars while licking ice cream. The hostess couldn't give me any advice on whether to get through by bike.
