Finally, it's starting again.
We are setting off to explore new countries and landscapes and to experience new adventures by bike.

Initially still without a trailer and tent.

We would be happy if you were with us again.
Cycle along and see for yourself what we experienced on this bike tour.

This tour was very nice! The short ferry crossing was also an experience.

A tour along the Saar is always worthwhile, with a detour to the Völklinger Hütte.

Great route, consistently wide and no distortions from roots. The gravel path to the left and right of the Saar loop is also very easy to drive on. Please note that the ferry there is closed on Mondays.

The title probably needs some explanation:

After the unintentional, overly long run on Friday, today we just went for a relaxed lap with the 🚲.

Otherwise my training app would probably have dissed me.

So: a chilled ride to the Saar loop and back.

Today a relaxed ride to the Saar loop. However, it wasn't always easy to find the way there, as many paths are closed due to flooding.
In some places it is really desolate.
