A short stop is always worthwhile here with a mountain bike: The fish ladder with the small water cascade is a beautiful sight every time. I found it particularly pleasant to get off briefly, watch the water, and soak in the calm atmosphere – a little highlight by the wayside.

An old waterwheel that probably once powered a mill. Unfortunately, it only runs occasionally these days, when there's plenty of water.

Today I cycled from Rekingen for the first time, and I like this direction even better. I have the feeling the stream erosion has increased compared to my last trip. Caution is advised in some places. But it's always a pleasure!

I visited Meieried Mellikon for the first time on Sunday. Small and charming. Beautiful. Well-maintained, with a bird observation post. I'd love to come back.
