April 28, 2025,Ely 2: Runde von Feldkirch durch die Rheinauen

A leisurely ride from Feldkirch. The "Bohrerhof" has been our home base this time of year for several years now. 😃
From here, you can enjoy some lovely bike or hiking tours and, like these days, enjoy spring. The Spargelhof is also a very good address for accommodations and food 😋.

A wonderful tour in perfect weather, although...this morning it was still quite warm enough to wear thin gloves and a hat.

We briefly left the Rhine Cycle Route near Fessenheim to take a look at the Fessenheim locks and the Grand Canal d'Alsace, the Rhine Lateral Canal.

So we were officially in France 🇨🇵.

October 6, 2022,Rhein-Radrunde von Münstertal

Clouds today - so get on the bike 🚲! We cycle from the Münstertal first to the Maltese town of Heitersheim. The Order of Malta has been based here since the 12th century!
Then we continue to the Rhine, which runs only narrowly next to the shipping canal.

Unfortunately, we couldn't do the tour as planned, a flat tire resulted in a forced one-hour break. These tubeless ready rims are hell when changing tubes, especially on the track. Well, everything went well and the shortened lap was still very nice 😁
