July 20, 2021,Rhön RR: übern 🐈 Buckel nach Böscheme und NES
You have to take advantage of the weather 😉
Today we went via the Rhön villages Waldberg and Sandberg to Bischofsheim and from there with a tailwind to NES


Short cycling break at Branko and then back to Steinach

Today again high in the Rhön. Starting point Steinach, then to Schmalwasser and up to Sandberg. Continue on the Katzenbuckel slope at over 600m high and down to Böscheme at over 70 km/h... awesome :-)

Now with a good way back (fortunately) via U'weißenbrunn on the old railway line to NES - average speed almost always 40 km/h

Small lunchtime tour from Steinach to Schmalwasser. Actually, I wanted to go over the mountain to Windshausen - but unfortunately there is currently a full closure here. So then just up to Sandberg and over the Katzenbuggel to Bischofsheim and on to NES and back.

Today we're out and about again in the Bavarian Rhön. With great weather and charming company. 🥰

Since it seems like everyone will be cycling tomorrow, I've already done my tour today 😀

It's been a long time since I've cycled through the Hochrhön - incredibly strenuous 🥵

From Stänich, I first cycled moderately to Waldberg. Then to Sandberg, and then further up towards Kreuzberg. Reaching an elevation gain of approximately 650 meters, the next few kilometers …
