May 2, 2026,2026.05.02 Hohe Kugel mit dem E-MTB- über mittlerer Lugweg hoch, über Schönenbuchweg runter

I tested this out with an e-MTB. It goes uphill rather steeply over long distances. Only a few sections where you can catch your breath without stopping immediately. Certainly very strenuous without a motor. Perhaps other routes are better suited for climbing without "E". We'll see. I would be tempted to manage it.

November 19, 2022,Allmein - H. Kugel - Lugtrail oder Licht u.Schattentour😃

Since the weather was better than expected, we got the bike out and off to the local mountain.
In the Allmein still glorious sunshine but then freezing cold on the ball, so quickly down again.
Stopped off at the Waldrast and then down the cool Lugtrail....

...used to drive more often🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️, but today I still took a few wrong turns, but the strangest thing is that the paths all became steeper😡😡 or is that due to the many ebike riders who overtook us
