Lauter Valley Cycle Path: Southernmost Section

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very flat and wide bike path. However, not suitable for road bikes, as the surface is made of very fine gravel. The Lauter River flows by next door. All in all, very beautiful! 😊

October 2, 2021,Mehlinger Heide Kaiserslautern... Dampfnudeln 😋😋

Stopover at Mehlinger Heide, Shaolin Temple Europe, Kaiserslautern Japanese Garden and then garden show. Japanese garden was great with a guide.
Unfortunately, I didn't like the garden show at all. More for children.
