The cycle paths are partly poorly signposted. Therefore, short "detours" on my tour. The cycle paths go through the villages and small towns. Always pay attention to "right" before "left". Also, cobblestones are laid in the historic villages. The federal highway is crossed several times. Strict cycling through is only possible over short distances.

It's a nice tour, but there was a lot going on because it's bridge day and we still had great weather. We struggled to find a place to have a drink. It was impossible to eat at all. You should take something with you and rest on the numerous benches along the way.
