My heart was overflowing with joy and I hugged my aunt.

That alone makes 70km by bike worth it.

I also really like the Nessetal cycle path. I always enjoy riding it.

I spontaneously went to the Eisenach theater with a friend to see Stephen King's "Misery."

Many very large meadows, fields, and arable land along the bike path. Memories of the GDR era. At the end of the day, there was a police operation at Bebra station. People were on the tracks. Our cycling …

With a strong tailwind, today we're heading from Erfurt via Schmira to the Nessetal Cycle Path. Then over the Kindel to Eisenach.
Cycling is twice as fun with such a wonderful tailwind.
