After a good breakfast, we continued our journey through beautiful scenery.
Since it started to rain, we decided to take the bus for the last 10 km.

A bike tour with many climbs, corresponding descents, good bike paths (unless there is a construction site), lots of sun and moderate wind.

Super nice tour. A lot of it is on cycle paths and not much on roads to Happurg. Very beautiful in late autumn. A quick swim in the lake was also very possible. Recommended
