A Dutch couple is renovating the former Westbahnhof, the street name is Am Schlossbahnhof, because the land has a view of Ballenstedt Castle.

A new little eatery with Dutch snacks and home-baked cakes. All of this in the old train station in Ballenstedt right on the bike path. Very friendly staff are in top😊👍

The roundabout in Gernrode is closed
The diversion with traffic lights is pretty annoying
So I quickly cycled to the Edeka

In addition to the counterstones, well over 150 Simsons and a few Trabbis were seen.
