In beautiful autumn weather, a tour through the Saale valley from Weißenfels station. On the way there, we cycled along the Saale and through the natural Saale meadows, with a sunny rest stop at km 5.4.

Always gladly taken - this very nice tour in the spring. It is blooming everywhere, as well as the storks in Lobitzsch. Which not only breed in the large eyrie, but also in the treetops.
The announced rain only came at the WSF train station, lucky 👍

A beautiful round in the Saale valley with many wild birds, a small walnut tree avenue, a bull with impressive 🥚🥚😆, an old church... Running counter-clockwise, it offers a lot of shade from the half that corresponds to the Saale cycle path. Very pleasant, with the high summer temperatures.

Unfortunately, the GPS spun at Leißling, as is almost always the case in this area. A total of 14.5 km with a little dangling through the city, to have delicious coffee and cake at the star bakery. And we stayed dry 👍 The speed at about 4.2 km / h.
