On very hot days it is particularly nice to have lunch at the Heiligenstadter Hof and then visit the Kneipp facility and/or the bathing lake.

5-6°, clouds with some sun but no rain! Ideal for cycling. From Heiligenstadt through the Wiesenttal to Forchheim, then back on the other side of the valley under the Walberla. Just roll along comfortably.

Today we set out to explore Franconian Switzerland. Specifically the Wiesenttal. Although it was a very beautiful tour, I missed the Wiesent for many kilometers. The first half to Muggendorf took us mainly on asphalted cycle paths next to the road. Nevertheless, we were mostly close to nature. Our way back went on the other side. Here we had almost …

Today is the last day in the outdoor pool with a swim and the last km crawl at a cozy 17° water temperature. Afterwards, the early swimmers sat down together for a nice chat over coffee, sparkling wine, plum cake and baggers on the terrace. 🥂

Bitterly cold air in the morning, but the sun comes out. Cozy and warm 4-6° at noon but great visibility, the April sun fights against the bitterly cold north-easterly wind. Off on the bike into the idyllic Leinleitertal, the Leinleiterbach currently carries an incredible amount of water, then through the Wiesenttal and once around the Walberla.

On Sunday, a Komootler @Jü 💫 from Upper Franconia, whom we know, lost his expensive prescription sunglasses on a MTB tour in the Leinleiter Valley. He said in the commentary on the tour description "Only if one of you is there in the next few days and sees you by chance. @Hanky 🍁" because he knows we don't live too …

Today we have a before / after meal. Before the tour, a court of grace: creamy Italian Gran Gallo risotto with pears and gorgonzola, along with mango fried in ghee, walnuts and pear pieces, finely arranged with chili threads, Serkendorf black sausage and cranberries. 🥰🥰
