Mountain #11 - Wasserkuppe

Rhön, wonderful roads for cycling, but not flat. Wasserkuppe had a motorcyclist meeting, hundreds of them. Impressive as well the little airport up there and my paragliders in the air. At lunch time for a coffee in Hünfeld, many memories concerning conferences there. Had a slow afternoon and read SZ because I wanted to stay at the Kanuclub Bad Hersfeld, but there was a meeting of motorsport fans just next  door. Ended up at 18.30 in Wallenstein. 

Mountain #10 - Beerberg

Bad Frankenhausen/Kyffhäuser asked for just a Cappuccino 4,10Euros, no way: in Sömmerda Cafe Seiler gave me coffee and a Quarktasche for 2,70Euros... Erfurt visiting the inner city and then a lunch break in Arnstadt,  where JS Bach had his first job. Into a long volleyball and climbing Rennsteig, Beerberg was then just a small detour. Steep downhill to Suhl, car and weapons museum there and on to Meiningen. A campsite way above the city center.

Mountain #8 - Brocken / Mountain #9 - Wurmberg

Double feature. And two hills that I actually had to climb. Goslar rather low, uphill with cars and lorries,  then a sometimes quite steep track to Brocken. Transfer on concrete blocks with huge holes to Wurmberg and another steep ascent.  Via Braunlage to Nordhausen visiting KZ Mittelbau Dora and another 25km to a lake with a campsite. 

Hannover - Hildesheim - Goslar

Some detours due to road works brought me to Himmelreich, before I came to Hannover for some sightseeing,  science, parcs, places. And continued for a lunch break in Hildesheim,  Dom, St. Andreas, etc. A last leg to Goslar to be in a pole position for a double feature tomorrow: Brocken and Wurmberg. Brocken Was already visible from afar today.
