July 24, 2026,27km Rundtour Bad Mergentheim- Weikersheim Altstadt

Great tour with very good cycle paths.
The old town and the castle of Weikersheim are absolutely fantastic.
Ice cream parlors, restaurants with outdoor seating areas and a castle worth seeing. In addition, there are also wineries along the way with sales and a wine vending machine with chilled wine 24/7. 😂😂😂

"Heim" round with Bad Mergentheim-Igersheim-Markelsheim-Elpersheim-Weikersheim-Schäftersheim-Tauberrettersheim. The finale in the outdoor pool beer garden with @Ronny & @Angel provided a quick cool-down. 🍺😋.

The winter clothes were able to prove once again today what they are good for. There were still cold fingertips and toes. Thankfully, other parts of the body did not suffer any frost damage. On the way, while sneaking behind the tractors of the farmers' revolt, I was able to think about my program for January. Mulled wine hike, horse …

The preparations for my next tour (washing day, tent pole repair, ordering spare parts, Rohloff oil change, brake pad replacement, etc.), office work and other important errands have put a lot of demands on me over the last few days, so I tried to escape in the evening. I believe I succeeded...😇😅🍺. The Baden-Württemberg beer queen Amy will show me …

Today we went from our hotel Edelfinger Hof in Edelfingen to Weikersheim with our rental bikes 😁😎👍🫶. First we tried to go directly to the Tauber. That wasn't a good idea. So we just took the bike path to the left of the road from the hotel 🙃😆🫶. Then we cycled a bit through Bad Mergentheim, the spa park, where …

Short evening trip to the beer tapping. I was offered a nice local concert on the Weikersheim market square. The few spectators appreciated it. It didn't go quite as smoothly in the beer tent. After ordering twice and waiting over an hour for a fresh Maß (liter of beer), I decided to turn my back on the festival. Good thing …

The first short hike of November, around All Saints' Day. After a spontaneously arranged lunch, I'd spotted a dry spell. Well, it didn't quite work out. But as compensation, I had a delicious mushroom harvest for dinner. Hopefully, Stiefelhügel will be patient...
