A 12 km cycle along the main where crossed over from the lovely path to visit the Schloss veitshöchheim with its lovely gardens and maze. It's right over the bridge and well worthy.
We then got to the start of the romantic road at Wurzburg. It started off so promisingly by the bridge and we...
We found tis wonderful lake, free entry, with huge picnic area and well attended with an aire with paid electric and 5 euros cash into an envelope and post it at the pizzeria. Lake was warm. No other facilities but it is on a cycle path alongside the river main all the way and we went to...
We were trying to balance travelling time to calais versus inclement/nice weather so we needed to travel to within 4-5 hours of calais and find a lake/riverside free aire for a couple of nights.
So many different routes home and eventually found this one just outside Echternach with overnight...
Differing viewpoints on this one see us coming down on the positive side. Normally fairly easy to tell by how many photos we took.
We entered from the river on the west side from really good cycle paths.
Immediately struck with the photogenic scenery. We eventually managed somewhere to secure...
Specifically chosen as a cheaper alternative to Bamberg but able to cycle in on the flat anywhere between 13 and 22 kms dependant on which route and whether you believe the signs or not.
The stell is dedicated to motorhomes with 12 stopping points for your 9 euros payable via cash in an envelope...
It is relatively important, if you like the engine of your motor, not to drive past the aire. It's only 250 m or so, yes, it's a bit uphill, but you get stairs and your motorhome has to go up at the same gradient ! Don't go past the blue dot in your motor.
Having successfully parked we walked...
Setting off from our free stopover at Olbetrsdorf or Bertsdorf station (both are correct ish) we cycled down to the Tri border taking photos from one country to another or another 2.
Initially we passed into Czechia and went to lake Krystina which was very pretty with mountain backdrop and...
We dropped down to this town for the ruins of a castle. As soon as we saw it, it was a "where did that come from" moment.
So we decided to park the bikes at the railway station terminal but a tractor with a couple of 5 year old girls caught our eye
The town was prettyand we made our way up the...
We fancied this turm. It was only 7 kms away with Jonsdorf in the way.
Slightly uphill til we got to Waltersdorf when it became steep then it got steeper then it got to 18% and sport mode was employed.
Then it just got steeper but there was a respite for a stop at the Czech border
We carried on...
We parked for free. There is an app to pay a local tax or you can pay on a Monday or Friday in the village.
There is a narrow gauge steam railway next door and trains attend irregularly between 10 and 5 as this is at a points section for 3 lines converging. There is an open carriage. We have...
Right on the Polish Germany border is the town that was split in 2 post WW2.
We parked out of town by ourselves next to a football pitch on loose gravel with no facilities and free. 200 yards away from a beach and 20 to the cycle path along the river to the town about 4 kms away.
The town is...
Today was a cold morning, full on jackets and gloves to cycle from hoyerswerda to senftenberg lake on dedicated cycle routes apart from about 2km of road where they are building a dedicated cycle route. Such is the quality of the tarmac it is rollerblade able for 60 kms (apart from the road bit)...
We have been impressed with east Germany. The images in my mind probably formed from the 80s of bleak housing blocks and depressed looking people lying drunk on park benches had been well put to bed.
Welcome to Hoyerswerda.
To be fair some of the flats have been done up, the aldstatt is...
With weather in mind and knowing we would like to leave something to return to we decided to leave the area after this day. We were limited by 2 day stopover at Burg. So we have not done lübbenau and lübben or swimming with penguins.
Instead we headed off east towards Cottbus from burg...
It was a Sunday morning of a BH weekend with typical inclement but warm weather when an early change of plans brought us into the Spreewald.
We had been told about it by one of the very few English speakers we have encountered in the old East Germany.
The region is very worthy of a read up. It...
From our base at the F60 we cycled out to Lauchhammer on roads without separation. They were Q but they were also marked on a map as cycle route. Upon arrival at the town centre we thought "where's the town centre" it was just void but there was a fountain. We knew the bioturm was temporarily...
We saw this for the first time on some literature from a TO.
It is truly immense at 504 m long and 74m high.
Both of us just fancied going up there for the view.
There is more than sufficient parking all over and round the beast. It all costs 10 euros for 24 hours which is the cheap rate all...
Another next to the lake parking spot. In fact there are at least 5 within 800m possibly 6 so choosing which one works for you becomes taxing. From east to west.
1) next to harbour no idea of costs looks like more caravans
2) right next to beach 10 euros ring up to pay. Small.
3) opposite 2)...
Our first real paying stellplatz of the holiday and because I was in tight fisted mode we only went for 2 nights at 15 euros each night. It's 5 euros leccy. Dump available. Approximately 2.4m from the beach as that is my estimate for absolutely immaculate cycle path to leads to other similar...
Prior to coming here I went through P4N and created a folder for appropriate aires or parking places generally along the route we thought we would be taking. I put in over 100 for what was going to be a 5 week holiday.
So I sort of selected this one out of those next in the way.
Having chosen it...

We are 59 and nearing 58 and getting very close to early retirement which may come in the form of medical retirement as I have Cauda Equina and that causes back pain and prevents sitting upright or standing for about 10 minutes without immediate lieing down or walking or self physio.

It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
This holiday will be 28 days...
