Cycle Path Along the Mittelland Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

On the Mittelland Canal, cyclists cycle in the countryside and car-free. There are hardly any inclines, the paths are mostly paved with gravel.
The large container ships often come by.

Paved Pathway Along Maschsee

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Newly paved with a great surface. One lane for cyclists, one for pedestrians, so there are no cars (except for a few who drive to the rowing clubs at walking pace)

"Best Friends against the Right" tour

Marc Vincenz and Thomas Hebecker (selfieking.de) invited people to join them on a joint gravel tour against the right! "Against the right, against intolerance, against exclusion, against hate!" Everyone who wanted to make a statement against the right was welcome - and some wanted to do that! And so we set off at a …

Nice round against the right. So we went around the green ring to the left. With 50-60 participants the start/finish was at the Maschsee.

Overall, a good tour!
Lots of pictures of the route today!
Because the journey is the destination :-)

The day, or rather the tour, started off a bit cool and gray.
But later, it improved.
Then, some sunshine came through.
It improved by midday.
But it's only March!
Otherwise, everything went well so far.
No gusts or wind today! :-) …

Nice gravel tour with an east wind. In the Lohnder Holz you have a few wooded kilometers and therefore practically slipstream. If the wind is west, just drive the other way around :)

January 25, 2025,Benther Berg- Kanal - Eilenriede - Maschsee 🚴 64/240

Dressed far too warmly for 10°C, we set off. In sunshine ☀️ over the Benther Berg. The paths were extremely muddy because there was no more frost, which you can see quite clearly in the pictures. But the wide Pirellis always give enough propulsion. Then we headed towards the canal and the rain that had been forecast came. No matter, …
