Half a day off in Erfurt, for strolling, looking, relaxing. And in the afternoon just roll over to Weimar. This is how you can also enjoy the holiday 🙂🚲🍀☀️

Unfortunately, adding photos suddenly doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know why that is?

There were lots of cyclists on the route, and the route seems to be popular.

Nice tour.
In the morning with imperial weather so pleasantly cool but started sunny.

The climbs were mostly completely okay and only strenuous in a few places and it mainly leads over bike paths and sleepy villages.
