March 26, 2025,Fahrradtour St. Goarshausen - Koblenz

The weather forecast was wrong again today! It was forecast for 13-15 degrees, but in reality it was only 8 degrees. From Filsen onwards, the cycle paths and roads are in terrible condition, and the permanent construction sites around Koblenz seem endless! After Koblenz, near the Koblenzer brewery, the cycle path towards Boppard as far as Stolzenfels was closed, with …
