I was cycling all day along the Mosel which is the border to Luxembourg but never touched foreign soil. But we went shopping for food on the day before in Wasserbillig which is in Luxembourg.

along the Mosel Despite the very nice room and a delicious breakfast, my bad mood was back (maybe I was sensing the bad weather already). I also had to do some shopping and it took some contemplating on which side of the Mosel I wanted to continue, so I started relatively late.

After the rain follows the sun: From Koblenz to Cochem
Sunday morning was the exact opposite from the day before: despite the noise inside and outside the hotel, I woke up refreshed and in a super relaxed mood.
After breakfast, I packed up my things and wanted to get on the road. But just before I got going, it started to rain – and not only a little. So I put on my rain gear before I cycled to the Deutsche Eck, the point in Koblenz where the Mosel runs into the Rhine river and where the Mosel cycling path starts.

Bad cycling day: Remagen to Koblenz
Download GPX track (Remagen to Andernach)
(more…)Yesterday was one of the worst days since I started cycling. I thought already in the morning about taking the train to my parents and take a loooooooooooooong break from cycling. There was no specific reason, just a bad day. I thought I would quickly cycle to Koblenz and decide then what I would do.

Soooooooo nice: From Neuss to Bruehl
The ride from Neuss to Bruehl was one of the nicest during my trip so far: the weather was cloudy but almost dry, the cycling paths are in excellent condition and the guiding system here is directly from heaven 🙂 also, the flourishing nature all around me made this a real holiday.

Sunny cycling to the Rhine: Essen to Neuss
(more…)Although I love Essen and everything seemed to go so well, again I got lost shortly after I found the first promising sign pointing to my first destination “Werden”. I even circled back to the sign and tried again but not a chance to find the follow-up sign. So I decided to cycle to Werden according to my phone, again missing one of those “wonderful” cycle routes.

Excursion to the Zeche Zollverein in Essen
Today, I visited the Zeche Zollverein in Essen which was a coal mine from the 19th century until 1986. These days, it’s an open air museum and a place for events and exhibitions. And an excellent place to shoot pictures of industrial motives.
