March 16, 2023,🚴 Fischbach - Maroldsweisach - Ermershausen - Schweinshaupten - Eichelsdorf - Manau - Gemeinfeld - Burgpreppach 16.3.2023 🚴🌥️🚴

My round led via Brünn, Fischbach, Pfarrweisach, to the pretty little village of Rabelsdorf, which was awarded gold in 1993. We continued to Maroldsweisach, Ermershausen, Schweinshaupten, Eichelsdorf. Shortly after Eichelsdorf, my route led in the direction of Manau, Gemeinfeld, Burgpreppach and from there, back home.
Weather: +6°C ⛅Partly gusty east-south wind.
