Start of the season 🚴🏼‍♀️✨
Finally back in the saddle! Today I kicked off the cycling season with a familiar, yet always delightful route. From Bad Salzungen via Breitungen/Werra and Weila, the route led through a springtime landscape – gentle climbs, fast descents, and relaxing sections along the Werra River.

At 22 km long, the Rosatal cycle path connects the …

By the way, a large part of the bike route led through the Röhn Biosphere Reserve. Some sections of the Werra Valley Cycle Path also have special protection status.
I would have …
