August 6, 2022,Schöne Mountainbike-Tour mit Rainer

Beautiful Mtb tour with Rainer in the old homeland of Leimen via Heidelberg Dossenheim up to the white stone, then steep gravel paths to Thingstätte HD to Philosophenweg with a wonderful view of Heidelberg Castle, the old bridge and the old town ...... there you go the soul up. Simply one of the most beautiful tours around Heidelberg 👍👍
