    Yesterday was the day, on which I would usually have given up my whole „cycling through Germany“ adventure.
    If you’re interested what happened and why I’m still on tour, keep on reading 😉

  • Bavaria can be flat: Nuremberg to Bamberg

    I would never have thought that Bavaria can be that flat but today the route was absolutely flat – or going a little downhill….what a great start into my way back to the North 🙂

  • Nuremberg in pictures

    Sinwell tower

    I decided to stay in Nuremberg one more day to actually see the sights of the city.
    But since I wasn’t so fond of my hotel (door banging and shouting late in the evening, the broken shower head holder, a general weird feeling,…) I decided to move to another hotel. Breakfast was not included and so I headed over to the next hotel shortly after 8 AM.
    There, I could leave my luggage and the bike and made my way on foot to the castle.

    I walked in the old castle ditch which could have been really nice since it’s green and in the shade but, unfortunately, there was a lot garbage lying around, I even watched a rat passing me quite relaxed in broad daylight and didn’t feel especially safe and secure….but as I mentioned, it was in the shade and not too hot yet – and I made it to the castle safely 🙂

  • From Rothenburg o.d.T. to Nuremberg

    Initially, I wanted to use the title „Let it roll…“ for this post but along the way, I found out that even when a route looks rather flat on an elevation profile that doesn’t mean that the route is actually flat and even if it looks like going downhill, it doesn’t mean that it feels like it.

  • A little too much: Schwaebisch Hall to Rothenburg ob der Tauber

    Today, I started my way back to the North.

    For the first time, I felt more scared than thrilled, for no particular reason…or maybe I already sensed that I put a little much on my plate for the first day:

  • From Main to Tauber: Wuerzburg to Bad Mergentheim

    Download GPX track

    After a hot day in the city of Wuerzburg, with visits to the residence and the stronghold, and some awesome food at the Brueckenbaeck, it was time for some work again.
    Unfortunately, the club downstairs from the flat I was staying, held a Monday night party which lasted until 5 in the morning and which kept me from sleeping – and left me fuming – until 4 AM.
    So, instead of an early refreshed start, I started late and sleep deprived into one of the hillier stints of my trip.

  • Second day along the Main: Steinbach to Wuerzburg

    After two nights right in the middle of the town center, I woke wonderfully refreshed due to the absolute quietness of the village. Another early breakfast was offered and I met a couple of cyclists who were cycling the reverse direction towards Miltenberg.

  • Along the Main: Miltenberg to Steinbach a.Main

    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.

  • Over the hill: Mosbach (Neckar) to Miltenberg (Main)

    Download GPX track

    On day four of my „many-rivers“-tour, I decided to change to river number four: the Main.
    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 😉
