If this route had been closer to us, so we didn't have to travel over 100 kilometers, it would have been a great way to clock up some miles.

My 15th vital tour - now the only thing missing is "Um die Wüstung" - which we are having a little difficult time with because we have already been on parts of the tour and it does not look that promising. But no matter - although I actually want to do without sooo long tours at this time of year, …
