May 15, 2022,Due colli - Ausnüchterungsrunde zum Bismarckturm Bad Pyrmont

Due Colli based on the Nove Colli in Italy/Cesenatico, which I rode twice and which I can recommend to anyone who wants to ride beautiful mountains. Long distance = top. They even pave the roads for the everyone's/woman's race there, new in the mountains!

Small celebration 🥳 evening tour to the Bismarck tower in Bad Pyrmont.

Yes, I know, a somewhat boring tour, always to the Bismarck Tower ... But there are delicious cakes and soups ...

By the way, Bad Pyrmont:
The fountain is now switched off and the water drained and the leaves have spread in the basin.

Sound to it:

Voooolsoooff through the match...

By the way then looked at the small "Christmas market" in Bad Pyrmont. Fountain inspected and up to the Bismarck Tower with a delicious snack.

Have fun watching the video (16 min):

Sorry for the wind noise in the video, wrong audio option selected. And thanks to the "Drizzle Piesel" spots in the video...

December 2, 2023,Hausrunde im Schnee ❄️ (2x weg gerutscht. Zu schnell, zu schnell...) 🎥 Gore-Tex geflickt🎥

From Schieder to the Bismarck Tower BP - my home tour.
Slipped twice in the snow because I came across the stuck and icy lane on the forest paths. The new Goretex pants now have a hole in the knee, the knee is intact, maybe because of the knee pads I have on my own. bear the cold. …

August 13, 2023,MTB Tour nach Bad Pyrmont zum Bismarkturm

A really nice tour, even if we didn't get any further (we looked like the bills were scratched by blackberries and spattered with mud) and had to turn around
@Schieder-Karl 58 it's great to drive there

Today shopping tour, bottom measurement for a new saddle (6OX Infinergy® ERGOWAVE® active 2.1) from SQ-Lab for the E-MTB and then to the Bismarkturm and feasting. Finally, a cozy session at the fountain in Pyrmont including spraying, almost like at the sea (next time take a pack of salt with you...).
