Historic Old Town of Hilpoltstein

Highlight • Historical Site

Nice place - the cobblestones are very pleasant to drive. It is also worth making a longer stop here to admire the castle

Historic Town Center of Hilpoltstein

Highlight • Historical Site

A beautiful city - as soon as you have left the city ring road (it's generally good to cycle here, many cycle paths) you get to a small inner city that is typically Franconian

July 18, 2021,Wettkampf Rothsee (leider Verfahren)

Competition as a substitute for the BR Frankenstaffel. Unfortunately I took a wrong turn at km 25. Cycled straight downhill. Well, I had to get it all up again. We were about 2km detour and about 5min extra time. Otherwise a good result would have been possible.
But respect to my swimmers Sabrina and Olli, who did a top run …
