April 28, 2024,Nessetalradweg ....

...to drink coffee :)

"Yes, girl, did you borrow your car? The train isn't on strike. You didn't ride your bike from Erfurt. Jesus!"

My heart was overflowing with joy and I hugged my aunt.

That alone makes 70km by bike worth it.

I also really like the Nessetal cycle path. I always enjoy riding it.

I spontaneously went to the Eisenach theater with a friend to see Stephen King's "Misery."
Highly recommended.
Really good.
And I'm not usually a fan of this kind of literature.

Visited my aunt's house in a headwind, which was really blowing up at Kindel. A quick detour to the Friemar reservoir and a visit to the birdies.
This time, the first part of the route was in great company and had some lovely conversations.

June 19, 2025,Fahrradtour 20250619 - EF -> EA - mit Gegenwind und Rückensonne 😎

To get to Erfurt by train for less, we went to the train station in Wutha. Reaching the platform was a bit of a challenge, but it was a good thing there was still some time before departure. ☺️

September 24, 2025,Erfurt- Eisenach Nessetalradweg

With a strong tailwind, today we're heading from Erfurt via Schmira to the Nessetal Cycle Path. Then over the Kindel to Eisenach.
Cycling is twice as fun with such a wonderful tailwind.
