Today we finally managed to ride the Obstland bike route. I liked the second part better. From Mügeln we had the rain and thunderstorms behind us. Didn't make it to the car dry anymore 🙈. Nonetheless, it was a nice tour.

A beautiful tour through the Saxon fruit country with great signage.
However, I advise against following the fruit cycle route between Polditz and Böhlen (terrible gravel path with lots of stones) and instead stay on the designated cycle path along the road.

Maybe it was better.
Since our e-bikes are in for inspection, I had to use the mountain bike.
The route is challenging. The climbs in the second half, in …
