Like the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve bike trail, the 7-Seen-Tour (7 Lakes Tour) is well suited for short days in autumn. At just 34 km starting from Brandenburg an der Havel, you can comfortably complete the ride in 3-4 hours. And psst, if you go off track a little bit, you could even combine it with […]
Temperatures are steadily dropping close to zero this week, but there is no snow in Berlin/Brandenburg yet and this weekend is forecasted to be sunny. So if you’re up for a challenge, grab your bike and embark on this trip to nature, perfect for autumn (as briefly mentioned in my previous post) because you can […]
Autumn is quickly passing by, this year perceptibly more so than usual for me. The leaves change colours and temperatures drop ever so swiftly, so before unbearably cold winter and icy roads get in the way, why not take that bike out on a trip at least once more? Cycling for more than half an […]
An einem Sommermorgen Da nimm den Wanderstab, Es fallen deine Sorgen Wie Nebel von dir ab. Theodor Fontane (1819-1898) After summer is over, Sunday mornings become a critical point for me: if someone or some event doesn’t drag me out of bed by 10 AM, lethargy would swoop in and I usually resign into being […]
The last third of our September bike trip felt rather uneventful compared to the first two-thirds, so I decided to combine our last two days on the Innradweg into one post. The sensation might have been caused by the lack of defining landmarks along the way, or perhaps the flatness and smoothness of the path. […]
My Via Claudia Augusta videos are up on YouTube! It took me a while since it was my first time editing videos for YouTube but here they are. Enjoy! Via Claudia Augusta Day 1: Augsburg-Fuchstal via Landsberg am Lech Via Claudia Augusta Day 2: Fuchstal-Füssen via Schongau Via Claudia Augusta Day 3: Füssen-Imst via Reutte
It was our third and final day on Via Claudia Augusta, before we changed gears onto the Innradweg. It was also the day we crossed the German-Austrian border which, along with the stunning views of the Zugspitze (a.k.a. tallest peak in Germany), makes it my favourite day on the route. Very grateful to have completed […]
The second day of cycling through the Alps began after breakfast at Hotel Boarding House Hohenwart, where we stayed in Fuchstal. I love their vast garden with a pavilion in the middle of it and a massive apple tree ready for harvest. At around 10.30 am, we took our bikes out of the bicycle garage […]
We kicked off our first full day of cycling with a hearty breakfast at 10 am in the heart of Augsburg, in a cute cafe/shop called Kitzenmarkt. Their pain au chocolat tastes just like the one from my fav cafe in Berlin, and they sell all kinds of products sourced locally/regionally/sustainably. At the window where […]
To start off my birthday (hint: it’s not today), I thought it would be a great idea to start the day actively. So I got up at 7:30, put on my leggings and sneakers, and met Michelle of the Berlin Hiking and Outdoor Adventure Group in Gesundbrunnen. We then hopped on a train to Oranienburg […]
