The Friesener Warte is always worth a hike, if only because of the breathtaking view that the high plateau offers.

When cycling, you should always set yourself realistic goals, e.g. coffee, cake and beer.😇

Eastward Ho!

Off to the Friesen Hills, the Almadler is calling. Local circuit, and because it was so beautiful, we'll do it twice.

Franconia is simply a dream. The landscape, the cuisine and the famous Franconian friendliness that comes from the heart but is a bit difficult for some to understand.

But that's just how we Franconians are.

Today I made a strategic mistake. I set off after a hearty lunch, and somehow I wasn't very motivated to achieve anything.

But I had the saw with me and cleared the Almadler trail and the trail below the Dragonerspitze of six trees that had fallen across it. 😇😃

Finished again with a delicious cake at Gasthof Kramer.☺️😋

The missus is cleaning the terrace today. So that I don't get in the way or the missus might remember that I could help, I'm sneaking off towards Friesen Hills.

The Almadler trail has mostly dried out at the top, so the steep descents are easy to ride. But there's still a lot of mud on the traverse back to …

Lunch with the family today, so we didn't leave until around 3:30 p.m. At least there's still time for one last winter tour to the Almadlerhütte. After a mud pack, coffee and water, we had a glass of wine on the way back. Nice end to a wonderfully sunny day.

Taking cycling to the next level. And by the way, I'm going to sleep for today. 7.44 p.m. No, I'm not frustrated, just drove to my four favorite cellars.

The first half of the tour was simply great, endless flow trails. The second half (from the turn-off to Ketschendorf) was a disaster 🤬 Shoddy Komoot paths, barely rideable 👎

Showing Translation

Today we walked the Almadler Trail again in beautiful sunshine and visited the Almadler Hut.

By the way, the hut is generally open all year round.
