Friday. End of work. Bike tucked under my arm and off on the regional train to Chemnitz. I take the most wooded route out of the city and aim for Augustusburg. During the ascent, I get properly lost, but with the largest chainring, everything is rideable.
Downhill it's quite bumpy towards Flöha and I

There were no bikers at the bivouac site, but there were people singing folk songs until midnight. ... and that with my canon allergy! Early in the morning, I pack up the tent and off we go!
Beautiful forest paths and cackling cranes - that's already very pleasant. At the Neuendorf am See bivouac site

Today, we're heading north first over wonderful forest paths to the Werbellinsee. The path along the shore is undoubtedly an absolute highlight!
Near Magarethenhof, it goes through a valley of meadows that is incredibly beautiful. Shortly before Eberswalde, idyllic kilometers follow along the Nonnenfliess

I start early, because today I still want to drive north of Berlin to my mother's house. This time I stick almost exclusively to the R1 and find that it rolls very well.
Scenically, it leaves a few gems, like the center of the Dübener Heide, a bit too much on the sidelines, but the well-developed and

It's fresh, but sunny. On the cycle path, you quickly get back up to temperature and the beautiful landscape with vineyards, chateaux and small wine villages quickly makes you forget your numb fingers.
The highlight today is undoubtedly Beaune, where we take a longer break again and

For breakfast, there are eggs! The day can't be all bad. 🙃
We pack the bikes and cycle around the huge monastery complex, which before the French Revolution was probably the largest of its kind, only it was razed to the ground after the upheaval by the wild bourgeoisie.
Very worth seeing

The breakfast in the only restaurant in the village is, as so often, not great, and the much-sung-about galettes don't impress the woman at all. On the other hand, the village is a feast for the eyes in the morning.
Our path meanders gently today, through the Dombes pond landscapes, although

In the morning, we take the train to Lyon, only to stand in the pouring rain there at first. But even that eventually comes to an end, and we can start.
The greater Lyon area is easier to cycle through than expected. The city, in particular, is well-equipped with cycle paths and there

Another rainy day. Fortunately, not as persistent as in Arles, but with big breaks and even sunshine.
We explore the city, where you can certainly still walk for two more days and still find new, interesting spots.
In the afternoon, I jog with what feels like a thousand other runners up

For breakfast there are eggs! But they are cold. The French are really not breakfast gourmets!
Today we are very quickly on quiet roads and can thus enjoy the meadows and mountains practically from the start of the ride. Only shortly before Verziere do we encounter a large road, which

From Serres, you first have to navigate out of the major traffic jam. After a few kilometers, however, you soon have the opportunity to switch to quiet country roads and enjoy the landscape.
In Veynes, we rejoin the main road, grab a quick snack at the bakery, and tackle the steep pass. Apart

It's quite fresh here in the mountains in the morning! There's a hint of fog in the valley, Mont Ventoux is bathed in bright sunshine, swallows and swifts are screeching competitively.

The sun greets us, and after breakfast, we drive through beautiful scenery to Villes sur Auzon, where we will strengthen ourselves once more to gain altitude through the magnificent Gorges de la Nesque. A great, quiet country road with hardly any cars, grandiose landscape, and lots

Eleven hours of sleep! Very good. We have breakfast in our hotel's flower-filled courtyard. The sun slowly pushes through the clouds. It will be a beautiful day.
We leave Arles heading towards the Alpilles, on unfortunately quite busy roads. However, from Les Beaux de Provence onwards

Saturday morning. Sun. After the second coffee, I jump on my bike and am already deeply impressed within the first few meters: The trail along the edge of the forest, the quarry pond, the forest paths in the border area between the Czech Republic and Germany.
The first decent climb I take on the Bärenstein
