Rest bench with a view of the Saarschleife

Highlight • Viewpoint

The forest below and around Mont Clair Castle offer some good and challenging, but also flowing trails. A detour, just because of the castle and the view, is definitely worth it.

June 25, 2023,Trainingsrunde E-Mtb Marathon Halbdistanz 🥵😩

Today's first attempt to finish the Saarschleifen Bike half-distance with a 625Wh battery failed shortly before the end. Despite a battery-friendly driving style (the first 25 km only up to a maximum of 175% support), the battery died about 4 km from the finish. 😩

Saarschleifen half marathon:
A nice tour with a bad pre- and post-ride organization, route/tour is highly recommended, the event only if you have "money left over", otherwise not. Related video is yet to come.
