May 31, 2026,48. Tag Venedig 2026 Frankenberg-Bad Wildungen

We waited out the rain and then set off a little later. The cycle route south of the Edersee was quite muddy in parts because it had rained heavily there.
The mood is good.
Again and again there are unrestricted railway crossings.
During the break at the Edersee, we got into conversation with a ranger and a cyclist. It was …

During the night I had drizzle in my sleeping place, so I put my second tarp over me. Actually, I wanted to leave early but it was still a little too cold for me because it was very windy at the observation tower. I stayed until 9:30, then coffee ☕️ cooked, breakfast and then I left at around 12:30. I …

May 7, 2025,Eder 3. Tag: von Frankenberg über Edersee nach Fritzlar

Today was a calm day, with few kilometers, few elevation gains, and little headwind. Only the navigation system, and thus the recording, stopped incorrectly several times (on the dead-straight sections).

May 16, 2024,Etappe 3 um den Edersee🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️ bis Gemünden🌳

A great tour over hill and dale on the Eder cycle path, with surprisingly little rain along the way. But we sat out the big thunderstorm with heavy rain that was forecast in the "Backwerkstatt Schwarz" in Bad Wildungen and ate our way through the menu 😉
Very tasty! 😋
