2021-03-15 Konstanz ➡️ Jakobsbad, 59.89 km. Because of the corona lockdown situation, going to Italy, as I often did in March, was not possible this year.

2021-02-14 Birkensee and Moritzberg, 57.8 km. We had a rather long period of bad weather in Nuremberg recently.

But finally the weather forecast was … Continue reading 2021-02-14 Birkensee and Moritzberg

2020-11-15 Altmühlsee ➡️ Kinding, 116.40 km. I slept on the bench under this roof at the Altmühlsee lake. The shelter on the “Hirteninsel” peninsula in the Altmühlsee had really been a nice place to sleep. After sunrise it was still quiet, nobody came and I took my time cooking breakfast. The Altmühlsee is an artificial … Continue reading 2020-11-15 Altmühlsee ➡️ Kinding

2020-11-07 Nuremberg ➡️ Monte Kaolino, 99.06 km. Due to a second wave of corona virus infections, Germany had announced a "lockdown light" for November.

Avoiding the touch This year I had planned a bicycle vacation in Sicily. When I started in early March it looked like the corona virus problem was mostly in northern Italy, very few cases in Sicily, actually fewer than at home in Bavaria, Germany. So I thought it was reasonable to try to do the … Continue reading 2020-03 Sicilia, France, and Germany bicycle trip
Obernzenn ➡️ Nürnberg, 58.71 km. The night near Lake Obernzenn was very cold, there was lots of frost on my tent and some ice in my water bottles in the morning.
