Today, in beautiful weather, we cycled through the Selketal Valley, stopping at the Falken, and then back via Friedrichsbrunn. There were some nice single trails here and there.

A very nice tour through the Selketal. Via the Easter pond to the Holy Pond and then on to Mägdesprung. From Mägdesprung it went into the Selketal. A beautiful route to drive.

Start in the fog. Many hikers were out and about in the Selketal. I actually wanted to ride the trail on the Selke, but there were a lot of trees blocking the way, so I went on the road to Meisdorf. I'll make the detour via Falkenstein Castle the next time.
