Well suited as a starting point for hiking / biking tours. In summer you can cool your feet in the Kneipp pool 😄

August 7, 2022,htt 4/6 Rusel e-mtb/2

Tried again tonight. However, I came straight away by bike to have warm calves at the start. In fact, I was able to get 1 minute out of it, or for whatever reason.
Let's see if it can be topped again in a possible third attempt. But give me little hope 🙈😉

May 9, 2025,HTT Deggendorf/ Rusel 🚴‍♀️

Because running 10 km in one day apparently isn't enough, I added the HTT MTB tour.
Unfortunately, I had to ride my old bike – the new one doesn't fit on the bike rack. 😩
Really annoying, especially because a full-suspension MTB would have been a much better choice here. My butt already hurts. 😅
The route itself is beautiful, …

Today I wanted to have an evening meal at the Breitenauer Riegel. I took the opportunity to take a look at the next stage of the HEIMAT TRAIL TROPHY 👍🙂

August 1, 2022,Heimat trail trophy/ Rusel 1

Luckily, the end of the day was still early enough today to complete a time trial on the stage of the "heimat trail trophy" on the Rusel that starts today.

A great fast route for the ebike.
With the biobike I will probably run out of grain at times.

August 6, 2022,heimat trail TROPHY -Rusel Biobike

Of course, the round must also be driven with a biobike.
However, I don't care about the time here. The main thing is to come all around🙈😀
