Natural pond with small park

Highlight • Lake

A beautiful park with a natural pond, a water treading basin, and several benches. The Becherbach stream flows right next to it and empties into the Lauter river not far away.

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! 😊

December 28, 2024,Schallbrunnerweiher – Mehlinger Heide Runde von Kaiserslautern Hauptbahnhof

In terms of the landscape, it's a beautiful tour with a few nice climbs. You can do most of it away from car traffic.
Today the ground was frozen, so I got through quite well with the Brompton. Otherwise it would have been too muddy. In some places the cycle route led along very rocky paths through the forest. That …

July 2, 2021,Test Fischer 1861.1 | Pfälzer-Land & Barbarossa-Radweg | E-Bike Tour

I was able to test the Fischer 1861.1 from a friend and chose a great "Pfälzer Land route" for it. I started going east along the Palatinate Land cycle path and later returned via the Barbarossa cycle path. Very idyllic except for a few sections along country roads.

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.

We took advantage of the beautiful weather and since the cycling went so well yesterday, we went the other way with the bikes again. Through the Eselsbachtal, past the Idyll restaurant to the ponds. Somewhat rough path and in the end still very wet...poss. rather for the mountain bike 🚵‍♀️. The rest on a slightly modified route via Mehlingen..Baalborn..Otterberg (the …
