June 8, 2024,Bayerisch - Böhmischer - Freundschaftsweg von Schönsee nach Nabburg
We took a relaxed ride to Schönsee on the bike bus and then cycled even more relaxed back to the Nordgau-Halle, where we parked for free.

The tour follows the Bavarian-Bohemian Friendship Cycle Path from Wössendorf to Schönsee. At around 35°C I didn't want to ride any steep inclines. And was easy to drive.

I've done this tour before from Schwarzenfeld, I think three years ago. It was the hottest day of the year, over 35°C.

Yesterday, the tour started in Wölsendorf, right on the Bavarian-Bohemian Friendship Cycle Path. There's a parking lot right next to the rest shelter by the fire station.

A beautiful tour from Schönsee via Gaisthal, Schneeberg, Oberviechtach, Pertolzhofen on the former Bocklweg to Zangenstein. There to celebrate the day, a church tour in the castle church of Mary Pains. The church from 1686 was extensively renovated on its own initiative over a 20-year period by a specially founded association. All respect to the Zangenstein residents and workers for …

The path runs on a railway line, sometimes tarred but mostly on sand.
Detours to the ruins are side roads with no traffic.
Key to the ruin must be organized on site.
