Did not get really wet today, but it was spitting at times. Enjoyed the cycling very much, as it really was not hilly, and the fairly strong wind came from the side. In the meantime it is quite autumnal. It was very interesting to see how many reservoirs there are along this bit of the … Read more
It had obviously rained very recently, but we set off without rain and only got wet on the last few metres of the day. Quite undulating in the beginning, but bearable. We vaguely planned to have our first break in Schongau, but could not find anywhere there. I did not like the place, too many … Read more
A lot of climbing between Nesselwang and Füssen after our late start. It became very obvious, that flatter alternatives were possible and would have been easy, but the designers of the route apparently had e-bikes in mind. This was acknowledged by the tourist information in Füssen, where we had our first break. During this break … Read more
It did not rain, but the headwind was stronger than forecast. My legs were tired from the day before, it all made for a strenuous day with the nearly 700m climbed. Started from Oberstaufen in the mist/high clouds and cycled along a valley and the Alpsee to Immenstadt, where we had our first break and … Read more
It rained and poured all day. We borrowed some brollies from the hotel, went into town and had breakfast in a bakery. Allegedly we were then the first visitors at the garden show (Landesgartenschau), which we walked through from North to South. Right from the beginning our bike ride was quite hilly, at the end … Read more
Wanted to take the S-Bahn in to the main station to catch the train to Memmingen, just to find out shortly before departure time that there was a problem at Ostbahnhof. So we cycled in and saw this amazing rainbow. We missed our intended train by one minute and just took the next one. The … Read more
Good night’s sleep on a very firm mattress, great view in the morning. Very unspectacular bike ride to the S-Bahn station at Altomünster, flat at the beginning, hilly from about half way. Managed to buy the particular dish of Neuburg, a Wiener sausage in Brezen-dough, which we had as lunch on the S-Bahn.
Very spontaneously changed our plans to cycle to Neuburg an der Donau for the weekend – I had seen an article in the paper about it. My touring bike is still being fixed, so I went on my mountain bike. We took the S-Bahn to Petershausen, through a Munich that was preparing for the opening … Read more
Paula left before breakfast and I then had a leisurely morning before joining the Radsternfahrt in Zehlendorf. The route took us on the motorway for about 8km, amazing feeling! I had to abandon at the Friedensengel, though, to catch my train back to Munich. Due to flooding in the South of Germany many trains were … Read more
Finally saw Paula in the morning, she only got in at 3:00am. We then walked over to the S-Bahn station together, from where Paula took public transport to our next hotel in Dahlem and I cycled the ‘Mauerweg’. Very well done, very smooth tarmac, very leafy surroundings. Almost needless to say, that we arrived at … Read more
