The renovation was successful. If you come from Jena you drive over and then up to the Dornburger castles. There is also a good view of the castles from the bridge.

The Kunitz House Bridge, newly built in 2012, is beautifully restored. Inside, there's an information panel about the bridge's history. The square in front of the bridge is a lovely place to take a break.

Little maiden voyage with a bicycle trailer. In principle, Lotti prefers to run alongside, but from 10km upwards this becomes too strenuous as the dog gets older. Your “carriage” is now a nice option for taking our fur child with you on bike rides. Great fun, will definitely be repeated more often...😁👍🚲🐾

The tour starts in the city and goes along the road towards Zwaetzen. Then you walk along the train tracks and in Porstendorf you change to the other side of the Saale. In the direction of Golmsdorf and Dorndorf it gets a little hilly but very beautiful. Shortly before the ascent to Dornburg, you will be rewarded with a wonderful …

A quick trip out between lunch and coffee. The main reason was actually to collect a bag full of nuts for the fourth time. Now Christmas 🎄 can come. Hopefully there won't be as much snow as there are nuts.

Since the weather was better than expected and Komoot reminded me to go outside, I did my favorite tour after all.

Just drove out for a bit. It's not really a special trip, but I wanted to make the most of the autumn weather.

Even though the weather wasn't exactly inviting for a leisurely ride, I still set out to do one of my fitness tours. Even though I've done it about 100 times, it's always fun. Better than sitting in the living room, anyway. Being outside is the best medicine for everything. 😀
