August 20, 2023,Familien Treff und Triathlon kucken in Immenstadt

What an amazing event and what a hot race day. Actually it was supposed to be a family reunion with my two nephews Jonas and David on the racetrack, but fate had it otherwise. Jonas and I were just enthusiastic fans and saw how brilliantly David coped with his premiere in a triathlon. Great day...although it always hurt not to …

September 4, 2024,Für ein Eis nach Oberstaufen 🍧

Today we went to Oberstaufen. The only reason: we needed an ice cream 🍧. We earned it on the way there, and worked it off a bit on the way back 😁.
Oberstaufen itself is a nice little place that is worth a look.

The second day's stage was very short because we couldn't find accommodation at our planned destination. From here we took the train to Memmingen, from where we started the next day (Iller cycle path).

May 26, 2024,Radreise "Rund um Deutschland" 2024 - Teil 2 - Etappe 14b - Oberstaufen nach Immenstadt

The train ride only took 50 minutes and so we left Oberstaufen in the early afternoon. The weather was great and the view of the Grosser Alpsee was spectacular. In Immenstadt I got on the train again and in just under an hour I was in Oy Mittelberg.

March 12, 2022,Zum Alpsee - erste Ausfahrt 2022

Yay - I did it! On Saturday I pulled the "inner bastard" out into the light. He fought back, grunted and squeaked and said: I still hurt my knee, the wind was too strong, the technical service on the bike hadn't been done yet, there could still be snow or even ice sheets on the shady paths. But this time …
