This circular tour begins with a relaxed ride through open countryside between the expansive fields of the Rhine plain. Even in the first few kilometers, small rest areas and shady corners provide short breaks, while the view repeatedly stretches far across the plain to the Odenwald.

July 17, 2021, Kurpfalz 😊 Rheinebene - Bergstrasse - Neckartal

Tour 5 from the brochure, Your Bike Tour - Our Home, the actual route is 54.70 km and 45 m ascent The name of the tour was the program, the start and finish was Ladenburg through the Rhine valley, it went north, fertile farmland alternated with meadows in Hessian, in Laudenbach there was a change of direction to the south, in Greater Saxony switched to the Bergstrasse to Dossenheim, from there on the Neckar and over the Schwabenheimerhof back to Ladenburg PS: Komoot has not saved all F‘s 🙄
