Hohensolms Ski Lift

Highlight • Rest Area

In fact, I have never noticed this lift, so you can see what such a "highlight" is good for. Next time there will be a detour.

A little uphill at the beginning and then it feels like it's all downhill. Very nice tour. Suitable for gravel bikes, but also for road bikes.

April 15, 2025,Nochmal ne Testung der neuen⚙️übersetzung, darf so bleiben😉

Second part of the test, with the final result, and that's how it stays. With the 46-36 gear combination, you can even push through 10, 11, and 12% inclines💪 without shifting the small chainring. Finally, I have to express my opinion again on the infrastructure situation for cyclists in the Lahn-Dill region. Over the past two days, I've once again …

There it was again, my problem when I cycle from home... where to, please? So, first, roughly towards Wasser and then⁉️on to Dünsberg, which is where I was just now, never mind further. Heading towards Gießen is an option, okay. Past Vetzberg, over to Kinzenbach, along the Lahn, and for the umpteenth time up the Dill Valley back to home. …

After yesterday's trip to the Angelburg radio tower, today was part 2 of the radio tower tour – a loop around the Dünsberg. In the humid air, it was a sweaty affair🥵🥵But there was the cyclist's best friend, who once again gave it his all and sometimes came around the corners quite violently🌬️🍃🌬️
Nevertheless, it was ultimately a nice tour👏👍

Hard to believe, just last Wednesday I was on the show stage in Wallgau, and today I was blazing from one pothole to the next at the LDK. I'd completely forgotten what it's like to pedal on such crappy roads and terrible cycle paths. And with a racing bike under my backside, no less 😁. But the purpose of the …

No sooner said than done. On the second day with the new Grail it was more challenging. Longer distances and more altitude. Over the former race track from Blasbach to Hohensolms. "My girl" mastered this tour with great splendor 😉👍
