After a great breakfast at the hotel Miltenburg, I started into a drizzle – despite the forecast of sunny and hot weather. But I was happy to have a little break from the sun and a cool start.
Quickly, kilometer after kilometer melted away while the sun was working it’s way through the clouds.

After a perfect stay in the hotel Krone in Hirschhorn, I took the train from Hirschhorn to Mosbach (Neckar). I arrived there after a half hour train ride at around 9 AM, pretty late to start a stint in the shape of an upside down U and on a sunny day 😉 -
Country of castles: From Bad Friedrichshall to Hirschhorn

Castle Zwingenberg Breakfast at the hotel Sonne (=sun) started early, so I was on my bike already shortly after 8 AM. I cycled the way along the Neckar which I had taken the day before by foot to Bad Wimpfen.
The temperatures were comfortable and so I cycled along the river and had a wonderful view onto the castles which are located on the heights on the left and on the right of the river bank. -
Along the Jagst: Jagsthausen to Bad Friedrichshall
On Wednesday, my whole body was hurting after the steep climb at the end of the previous day. That’s why I decided against cycling the Limes (=Roman border wall) route which includes a lot up and downhills. And opted for the famous Kocher-Jagst cycling route and follow the Jagst river towards the Neckar, the reverse direction from the „original Kocher-Jagst-Route“.

From Kocher to the Jagst: Schwaebisch Hall to Jagsthausen
After two months of holiday after the first half of my cycling adventure, I started a separate stint to also tick-off Hesse from my list of federal German states.

Beautiful training ride to the Einkorn
Today I cycled my old training route from Schwaebisch Hall via Gaildorf and the old coal road to the Einkorn back home.
I started right after the rain and it was just beautiful to watch the water evaporate from the forest.
I would have loved to stop every other minute to take a picture BUT I had to be back for lunch time, so I didn’t take too many breaks 😉
So – „unfortunately“, you have to come here in person to see the whole beauty 🙂
In case, you’re wondering about the strange picture format: today I had only my phone with me and not my camera.
Also the route parameters are, once again, calculated by OpenStreetMaps and don’t really seem realistic to me – just subtract generously and it’s probably correct 😉
View onto the Einkorn, our backyard „mountain“ 
View from the Einkorn – I just love it here 🙂 
The sun comes out, right after the rain -
Heilbronn to Schwaebisch Hall: off to summer break
Thursday was another holiday and another predicted hot day with thunderstorms and heavy rains predicted for later in the day. Consequence for me: another early start. This time I was on the road already at 7 AM!!! and it was already warm.
Since it was a holiday, almost nobody was on the streets and I found my way easily out of Heilbronn.

From Karlsruhe to Heilbronn
It was predicted to be another hot day and my calculated route would be around 90 km, including some meters in elevation. So I started the day with only a very small breakfast (only one dry bread roll….yummie ;-)) ) and veeeeeery early: I was on the road by 7 AM.

Hills on the left, hills on the right – and I’m just cycling downhill 🙂 What a beautiful day / ride
I started early, around 8 AM, because it was suppose to get warm again. I started off through the beautiful forest of the Pfaelzer Wald and the whole first ten kilometers were going downhill on a beautiful smooth cycling road. -
Mixed conditions but such a nice cycling day: Bierbach to Dahn
After the breakfast at the a little weird guest house (and the tiniest room I stayed in), I started into a beautiful morning: it was already warm and all the tourists were still asleep or at least not on the road ;-).
