Today we cycled along the very beautiful Wallenstein cycle path (cross-border railway line 🇨🇿/🇩🇪) to Waldsassen. Our goal was to visit the basilica and the monastery library. The interior of the basilica looks stunning and is in very good condition.

October 2, 2023,Ein Ausflug in unser Nachbarland - Eger, Franzensbad und Stöckermühle von Waldsassen aus

The starting point was the basilica in Waldsassen. We immediately went uphill to the Trinity Church Kappl. After a beautiful descent we took the railway path to Eger. Beautiful to drive. It was my first time in Eger and I was really impressed by the architecture of the market square. We continued to the Stöckermühle. We ate very well here. …

July 1, 2023,opět přes Cheb do Františkovy Lázně

Again via Eger to Franzensbad.....
Great paths everywhere, only the hiking trail from the Köllergrün to the Ziegler brewery, which the forest has roughed up again for the cyclists 👎 - I soon believe that there is a system behind it. 🤜"Cyclists out of the forest" 🤛 see paths in the Waldnaabtal !!👎

On the cycle path in Cheb, a large pile of broken glass in the middle of the cycle path, could never avoid it and then preferred to turn around and go home. But tires still last :-)
