Flat round was announced. Via Stadtsteinach, Rugendorf, Marktrodach, Kronach, Küps, Redwitz a. i.e. Rodach, Zettlitz and Burgkunstadt home again. Wonderful weather and really pleasantly refreshing temperatures halfway through the route. This round is really recommended, as there is a large proportion of cycle paths.

Relatively few racing cyclists on the road today and the …

My mountain enthusiast wanted to ride on a flat route today and we always enjoy the tour from Kulmbach to Kronach. The 3 rivers town of Kronach, the Rosenberg Fortress and the site of the former state horticultural show …
