Gemünda Village and Half-Timbered Houses

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful little village with half-timbered houses not far from the Thuringian border. A ride through with the racing bike is definitely worthwhile. The parish hall with the smithy (unfortunately not photographed) and the church are particularly worth seeing.

Ummerstadt Historic Town Center

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

this is a very nice section on the former inner-German border. It is mostly very quiet and there are very few cars. This section is highly recommended, especially in the evening.

Former Inner German Border Marker

Highlight • Historical Site

Coming from Gemünda or Ummerstadt you drive past it directly in the curve at the Gehegsmühle. From there you can follow the path uphill into the forest and continue to Neundorf. You save yourself the way via Dittersdorf.

After a much too long break, over 30 km again. It was really exhausting but also really nice. I love this area 😍

I did this lap a year ago today, with one small difference. (25.7 km/h) Actually, I didn't want to do the lap today, I was really unmotivated and was afraid that my current form would be confirmed in the lap.
And now I'm super happy to have driven this lap. Wow, that was awesome!
