Day 5 we started from Lake Idro with the goal of Lake Iseo. Initially on Via del Tram, Via Gagna and Via Roma.
2 climbs awaited us on the tour today, the first climb was at times with nasty 14...16% gradients (I was missing the smallest gear, which I just couldn't get set up 🤔).
During the subsequent

Day 4 led us from Lake Garda across Lake Ledro to Lake Idro.
The route from Lake Garda to Lake Ledro was very impressive but (for my e-bike and me) at least equally demanding 🥵. Ascent in blazing sun up to 37° on often steep coarse gravel, not easy to ride with luggage. Moreover, the route was flooded

Day 3 can actually be summarized as follows: a magnificent spectacular tour along many lakes and rivers, partly with swimming stops.
The trail from the hotel directly on Lake Molveno was already breathtakingly beautiful.
The change of plan en route to Lago di Nembia was absolutely worth it 🤗.

On day 2, we were woken by sunshine, the day was simply brilliant in terms of weather and also the tour.
Initially, we rode flat for about 12 km along the Etsch river. We had learned at the hotel that the daily strong south wind always wakes up around 10 am, so with a start at 9 am from the hotel, it

Arrival with ÖBB's Nightjet, arrival in Bozen at 11:30 AM 🚂.
The view on the weather radar showed that from 1:30 PM until midnight it would not only rain 🌧️, but pour 🙆.
So the first tour, which was originally planned over Kalterer See, was quickly replanned into a flat tour through the Etsch Valley

Short tour, lots of text 🙆 :
It's quite funny, you look at your community on Strava in the morning after breakfast and find that many have already used the (very) early morning hours (e.g. 4:07, 5:45, 7:05) for a bike ride BEFORE breakfast 🚴♂️.
At 8:30, of course, you're comparatively late 🤔, but somehow

Respect @KarstenE that's a killer route, especially in this weather 🥵
Did the fish sandwich give you back the necessary electrolytes? 🧐

Unfortunately, my gravel bike has to go to the bike doctor (defective bottom bracket), so the road bike was "up" today with the beautiful weather 🚴♂️🤗.
Actually, 260 km were planned (komoot road bike mode), specifically the outer regional ring around Hanover.
I started at 5 a.m., but only got about

A nice tour (I had the route created from Strava with customized desired filters 👍🤗).
Good mix of unpaved/paved surfaces.
1. Test for the battery operation of my wife's e-bike passed,
2. Test for the translation of my touring bike passed

Today the MTB went outdoors again, to Lachendorf for the 2-river tour in the Südheide, which I wanted to cycle through as much as possible, from source to mouth:
1. Aschau
a) "Source" by confluence of Drellebach+Draller Bach
b) Mouth into Lachte near Beedenbostel
2. Lutter
a) Source near Weyhausen

I always find the gravel route to the west beautiful again 🤗🚴♀️🚴, but I had chosen an older saved route that is no longer rideable at all 🤦 and therefore had to improvise something along the way 🤣.
The route captivates with many super beautiful narrow trails that are just a lot of fun and significantly

Today, a half-marathon test was on the agenda in the Weserbergland.
Start was in Lauenau. First, it went in a loop towards Nienstedt and from there via Pohle, Antendorf as well as Hattendorf and Langenfeld up to the Schillathöhle.
The descent via Segelhorst to Welsede is simply magnificent 🤗.

Day 6, again already at 10:30 AM, a warm sunny day.
The tour started from the hotel at the southern end of the town of Marone and after a few kilometers on the road, we went onto a super smooth, asphalted road designed only for bicycles and pedestrians, directly along the shore of Lake Iseo to Pisogne
