Tips from the Community

Alex
May 3, 2026, Lehmbergweg and Fürther Weg

On the Lehmbergweg passage (between the canal and Chorbusch), there are now severe damages in the asphalt on the edge of the path. In one spot, it's not a pothole, but a pond hole. So be careful and ride in the middle. Nevertheless, a good connection and nice to ride.

The then-chairman of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany, Wolfgang Huber (together with Cardinal Karl Lehmann, chairman of the German Bishops' Conference), wrote the following in an ecumenical book project on the 'Good News' (the translation of the word 'Gospel') according to the Gospel of John, regarding the crucifixion of Christ: + “This new connection… under the cross and through this death therefore already points beyond the mood of Good Friday. In this farewell, the seed of a new beginning already appears. THE CROSS ILLUMINS A HOPE that does not separate people from one another, but unites them. The cross, whose ends point in four different directions, has a common center. It unites.” (Text from “In the Beginning a Word: The Gospel of John as a Yearly Companion”)

A beautiful, quiet country lane with a slight incline on the right towards the wind turbines.

Easy-to-drive private car next to a busy road, but of course not a visual highlight.

With a slight tailwind, you literally "fly" over this well-paved country road.
