This bike tour was done on a car-free Sunday.
There was a lot on offer, including: bicycle workshop, bouncy castles, food and drink and much more.
On other days I wouldn't ride my bike as it's too dangerous.
PS: You can also do the tour without an e-bike

Unfortunately Komoot did not record correctly. But it was a great tour with many places to stop for refreshments along the way. In the heat of 36 degrees we had to cool down a few times.😀🍺☕️🍰🌭🍻🍻

Nice tour in the Gelbachtal. The mobile bicycle museum was cool. On the way back we rode the Gelbachtal cycle path instead of taking the road. It's also a very nice way. The sculpture path in Reckenthal is also the same.

After 5 weeks have passed since the last bike ride, we dared to go on another bike ride today. The weather promised the best prospects with just over 20° Celsius.

We chose the Eichwiese car park in Montabaur as the start and finish point.
