Since we, the Rhine was getting a little flat but we could get together with 4 other colleagues on an adventure with a little more slope: the Thuringian Rennsteig!
The Thuringian Rennsteig begins in beautiful bright stone!
After exhausting journey (we had to be accompanied by two wheels to travel 450 km of the railway to Thuringia, unfortunately, still had many others that out) began Rennsteig Tour finally in Blankenstein, the city with the famous blouses. 200 seamstresses can not be wrong.
Cheered on by the seamstresses in Blankenstein, we started our adventure ...
The weather played along, and despite predicted hundreds of gallons of rain, we started in bright sunshine, but always accompanied by the roar of the foothills of the Thuringian Forest bouncing thunderstorms.
Thank God it was not the first bratwurst stand far!
It began umenschlichen slopes that should be for the rest of the journey our faithful companion. The Rennsteig Blankenstein is in not much more than a trail, we fought our way along. After a short time (10km!) we met at last on the first bratwurst stand and we recovered a cyclist and a pair of sausages! Five minutes later we realized that was the beginning of our trip to the Men's Day, what we saw it, to us a group of young people with peppermint liquor "- wanted to fill - some nasty Minzschnaps.
Oh yes, it was also Männertag ...
The rest of the day was always the same: 15 km cycling, cyclists, bratwurst. On the first day we had material losses - the rear fender of one of our wheels was blown up by a rock fall, which for the next few kilometers of our journey had muddy lively episodes.
tasty sausage and delicious cyclists were never far away!
Exhausted, we finally reached the Hotel Oberland, where fortunately a heated sauna waiting for us. Thereafter, roll it with delicious dumplings!
