    Wunderschöne und einsame Tour durch die alte Welt. Leider sind einige Wege zu Wildwechseln verkommen und nicht mehr als Wege erkennbar.

    Ich bin die Tour Ende Juni 24 mit einem normalen Trekkingrad gefahren und war auf Steigunge gefasst. Die kamen auch, so dass mir der Dampf aus den Ohren kam ;-). Man wurde mit grandiosen Aussichten über Felder, Täler und Dörfer belohnt. In Lauterecken habe ich etwas gegessen und bin dann entlang der Glan zurück nach Meisenheim geradelt. Ich hatte die Runde auf meinem Radnavi, so dass ich der Strecke problemlos folgen konnte. Zufällig lagen einige Friedhöfe an der Strecke, so dass ich regelmässig meine Wasserflasche auffüllen konnte. Fazit: Top. Wer nicht genügend Kondition hat, sollte ein E-Bike nutzen!

    Was für eine großartige Landschaft! Bei dem ständigen Auf und Ab durch die Alte Welt bieten sich auf jeder Anhöhe neue Ausblicke in eine Region, die keinen Vergleich mit etablierten Urlaubszielen scheuen muss. Und ein besonderer Genuss ist es, dies auf dem Motorrad zu erleben. Dabei ist man selbst an einem schönen Sommer-Sonntag fast alleine unterwegs. Oft haben wir Motorradtouren schon als Stress empfunden, aber bei dem sanften Gleiten durch die Täler und über die exponierten Höhenzüge der Alten Welt entspannen wir - fast schon meditativ. Besondere Höhepunkte für uns Biker? Auf jeden Fall das Motorradmuseum in Otterbach, wo in einer ehemaligen Kirche auf zwei Ebenen Old- und Youngtimer präsentiert werden. Und dann die vielen Einkehrmöglichkeiten. Geheimtipp: Die Gartenwirtschaft auf dem Felsberger Hof mit ihrer Blütenpracht (leider nur sonntags im Sommer geöffnet). Aber nicht weitersagen!
