By today at the latest, the matter was settled, the Saar will be the start of my solo cycling trip next year. I really didn't imagine it would be so beautiful. Today we went to Mettlach and back, even the main road didn't bother us because it's just fantastically beautiful 🤩

The bike ride along the Saar River …

It was a very nice tour except for one spot at the Saarschleife. Komoot wanted to send us down a rather steep set of stairs, even though we'd specified a bike route when planning. That's completely unacceptable! I don't know how anyone would think of sending a bike down there. We turned around and took a different route down to …
