October 6, 2024,Hess. Bergstraße/ Odenwald… 🌰🍂🍁🍇über die Orbishöhe auf den ⛰️ Melibocus & zur 🏰 Burg Frankenstein

I can generally recommend arriving/departing by RE, especially if you have your bike with you. The route is well-used, especially in the afternoons towards Da/Ffm and when the weather is good, and also by cyclists, but the train used here has several bicycle compartments. On many connections I have also noticed that bicycle compartments are only available at the beginning …

To anticipate it right away, I'm fit again and how 😁.
1350 meters of altitude are podium-worthy for my standards ;-).

The starting point was Seeheim. On the flat I drove in the direction of Zwingenberg and from there up to Auerbach …

March 2, 2025,Tolle EMtb-Tour von Malchen über Burgruine Tannenburg zum Melibokus und zurück☀️☀️😎🚵🏻‍♂️🚵🏻👍

Today we went to Melibokus again. Nice tour with a few meters of elevation. The Tannenburg is really worth seeing and has now been almost completely restored. From there we continued on to Melibokus. After a rest and a delicious lunch there we went back via Balkhausen. 👍🙋🏻‍♂️
