Mitwitz moated castle

Highlight • Castle

The moated castle is the landmark of Mitwitz and an absolute highlight. A visit to the castle surrounded by water with its many original furnishings from the 16th to 20th centuries is very worthwhile.

Today for New Year's Eve, with the wonderful weather, it was time again for a little round ...

The last two months have been very dark, wet and cold, icy, or covered with snow.

I had the impression that I hadn't seen the sun since my Berlin week at the end of October.

Evening everyone!

Today I started a little tour with my sister. She hasn't driven in months. Today she finally wanted to go for a spin again! :-))

Since I had a class reunion last night, I really liked being able to ride with a "newbie" today! :-))

Hello everyone!

May 1st! Finally the bike was used again!

To start, I went along familiar paths towards Kronach, Redwitz and Marktgraitz. Here I stumbled into the incredibly well-attended "Rosenauer Hofbräu"!

I took a seat at the regulars' table, my parents were also here, ordered Currywurst and a Helles, called "Engela" here!

Good evening everyone!

Today we took a short Friday afternoon ride to Marktgraitz to the Rosenauer Hofbräu! A wonderful little brewery. Note: Only open Thursdays and Fridays!

Since we had little time today and wanted to drink beer and eat something for as long as possible, we pedaled hard. Unfortunately, the wind thwarted our plans! Both heading south and heading …

It rained heavily last night, so everything was wet in the morning... But since my fine Ghost, which was polished down to the last corner, was supposed to accompany me on a tour again today, I naturally waited until everything was nice and dry again! "Stay clean" was the motto today! :-))

It's getting better again and today's round, which was of course relatively easy, actually went quite well!

In the end I stumbled into the Landgasthof Detsch and had a fine dinner! There was fried hemp bread with salad, pancake soup and carp fillet breaded …

I started a little later this morning because it was relatively "cool", not to say cold ...: - /

2 degrees and frost on the meadow.

It went haphazardly towards Kronach, up to the festival and then towards Redwitz. Actually, I was planning to stop for dinner at the "Golden Lion" in Sonnefeld, but it turned out that some kind …

Good afternoon everyone...

My first, somewhat larger, MTB round in Germany since September 2023 was marked by all sorts of floods... It was good that the water was crystal clear, so at least the bike stayed nice and clean... :-))

Anyway, I chose a standard round for this Sunday! Driven many times, always beautiful, always new!
