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
Had a (slow) puncture in the front tyre when I picked up my bike, so I changed the inner tube first. Had wanted to get away early, as there was a bit of rain predicted later in the day. Ah well, it caught me after 5 km. I got rained on so much during the … Read more
Arrived in Leizig by train last night, after I had worked a full day. Managed to walk around the centre before it got too dark . After a cottage cheese and knäckebröd breakfast on my room I left early, the weather forecast predicted rain in the afternoon. Once I was out of the city it … Read more
The weather was great again, and on the way back we chose a route to the North of the airport, which, apart from the noise, was really beautiful. You could tell, that this used to be moor area, there is still quite a lot of water. Wit Monday traditionally is national mill day. According to … Read more
National museum day in Germany, and we managed to visit three totally different ones in combination with quite a good bike tour. Cycling to Ismaning marked the start. There we got a guided tour of the Seidlmühle, a former water driven sawmill. We learnt a lot, including about different saws and saw-blades, splitting wood vs. … Read more
Excellent ride fairly early in the morning round the North side of the Chiemsee, before most other cyclists and walkers got going. At Breitenbrunn we met a very friendly elderly gentleman, who explained the history of the place to us. Turns out, he was the local historian, and used to be a local councillor. He … Read more
To join the Mozart bike route we took a ‘short-cut’ through the woods, our daily micro adventure. After that it was really beautiful and good to ride. We followed the Salzach to Laufen first and actually saw the first reference to Mozart so far, so he had actually been in this castle. Laufen has a … Read more
