    Hammer Tour, es geht auf jeden Hügel rauf und wieder runder der sich um Gera herum befindet. Sehr gut geroutet, immer wieder Abwechslung drin. Alles fahrbar für erfahrene Biker zu empfehlen. Hat Spaß gemacht, fahr ich auf jeden Fall nochmal.

    Eine schöne, entspannt zu gehende Wanderung. Weil wir den weniger schönen Teil einer Wanderung lieber am Anfang gehen, sind wir in Bad Köstritz gestartet. So hatten wir auch den einzigen größeren Anstieg, den Eselweg, gleich zu Beginn der Tour. Der Eselweg ist ein sehr schöner schmaler Weg durch den Wald. Die ca. 2 km an der Straße in Richtung Lessen, lassen sich wirklich gut laufen. Hier hat man einen sehr schönen Weitblick. Von Lessen bis Silbitz sind auch wir niemandem begegnet. Und dieser Abschnitt ist wirklich sehr schön. Natur pur. An den Braupfannenteichen haben wir Rast gemacht. Allerdings gibt es hier keine Bank oder so. Bänje sind während der gesamten Wanderung eh spärlich gesät. Wir können die Tour empfehlen, wenn man einfach mal eine entspannte Runde drehen möchte.
