Today another tour to relax around Lake Staffelsee. Start in Murnau, very good parking next to the Edekamarkt on Kemmelallee. With a view of the lake and the mountains, we cycled via Riedhausen and Uffing to the nature reserve. We came to Bad Bayersoien through picturesque 👩‍🎨 beautiful forest areas 🌲🌲 and lush green meadow landscapes. A hailstorm raged there …

The route partly went through wonderfully cool forest areas, but also very sunny sections with wonderful …

It was really nice today 😊 Although the weather wasn't as predicted (oh wonder. Today's apps 🙄), it got warmer and a bit sunnier after a few raindrops in the Murnauer Moos 😎 And the wind was warm enough not to be really bothersome.

A nice round to get to know the bike in peace 😄

Today the weather finally cooperated, and we were able to go on a longer bike ride. The Murnauer Moos is a great place to cycle, even if our feet did get wet a bit ☺️.
