May 30, 2025,Todtnau — via Todtnauerliweg (FB)

A second ride that day to rack up a few more kilometers.
The idea of doing a round trip to Gresgen gave way to the option of taking the Todtnauerliweg to Todtnau—a route I haven't ridden in a while (apart from the road option).

A comfortable ride that you can always ride. However, where I accumulated the many meters of altitude on this route is a mystery to me 🤣🤣🤣
