Gera River

Highlight • River

Above all, I think the Gera is nice and clean. You see a lot of animals and trout. And of course not to forget the bike paths 😊

Martinsbusch Singletrail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very nice single trail in Martinsbusch with stream meanders, a protected landscape feature in the Steigerwald.

The trail is easy to ride in both directions. It is very beautiful when the snowdrops bloom in spring.

Finally he was there; the rain.
Battery was already prepared for 2 days. So it was straight out after work.
The usual fight through the city center and then calm down from Kressepark.
I had no real plan or route; just follow your nose.
The subsoil was wonderfully greasy; the profile has clogged as quickly as possible; a dream 😁😁. …

The Steiger is quite nice to ride, but some trails are currently so overgrown with weeds at the top and bottom that branches often whipped my face. Who likes that?

I still think the two Waldhaus trails are great!

Overall, it was a nice end to the summer!

Lost the GPS signal twice again in the Steigerwald - it was 300 meters less, so more like 580 meters. Annoying, I guess I need a professional tool 😊?!

Finally had some time again and did a nice tour in the Steiger.👍👍
It was just wonderful, the peace and quiet, only a few sleepy pensioners on the way 😅

... and explored the emerging trails in the pine forest.
It's nice that something trailical is being created there.

We just wanted to see if we could go on a little tour despite our constant colds. The support on the bike was just what we needed. We were able to enjoy the 20 km in great weather 🙂🤓😃
