For the 18th time the Paderborn cycling day will happen this year. An event which presents itself in the beautiful castle garden of Palais Neuhaus.

It was September 2, 2009, late afternoon, the day that turned my life upside down. Admitting it was very hot in Halkidiki and I had to drink a lot that day. Dimitri, of whom I had leased a field for my herbal tea cultivation and from where I delivered melons to a hotel in Sithonia, was next to me.

With the handover of the BTurtle, the mini-caravan for bicycles, about 3 weeks ago in Oldenburg, one of the problems for Heinrich had been solved: where and how he can stay overnight when the tour budget is small and the proximity to others on the way is to spread the ideas of his project "against the further plasticization of the oceans"

We had already covered part of the way around the Geiseltalsee on foot, now we had to do the complete circuit by e-bike.

As already reported, our friend Moritz from Osnabrück represented us at this year's meeting of the fan community of bicycle caravan builders and users in his own BTurtle bicycle caravan.

In 2022, Jörg again invited to the meeting of the bicycle caravan fans in Wunschendorf near Gera. Since we ourselves were busy at the time of the meeting at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, we asked our friend Moritz Hillebrand (Mobee Osnabrück) to take part in the event, not without the background of further experience in terms of traveling by e-bike and caravan trailer by train to collect.

Sheep provide us with wool, milk and meat and are among the oldest breeds of domestic animals known to anyone who has ever seen a flock of sheep.

Especially during the pandemic, the demand for "outdoor options" increased continuously. Well-preserved campers and caravans are hard to come by, and allotment plots near the city are certainly not available.

On the total of 13 kilometers between Laucha and Freyburg an der Unstrut, there are 26 display boards that provide informative knowledge about the region, the tradition of viticulture and the grape varieties that are indigenous and thrive here for the inclined reader on his hike or bike tour.

Again we wanted to do something like a half-day tour (a small picnic on the way in some beautiful surrounding) on the Unstrut cycle path with our HNF bikes, this time we had planned the section from Roßleben to Memleben.

We were cycling along the Unstrut river, where we came across the small town of Memleben, which is part of the Kaiserpfalz community in the western Burgenland district not far from Nebra and Freyburg.

Finne is a mountain range up to 370 meters high and around 23 km long in the Burgenland district in Saxony-Anhalt, which we had already hiked through several times.

Often there are the unexpected things in the course of the day that lead to an exciting encounter or the literal "salt in the soup", such as in the case of the Mango Velomobile parked in a parking lot, a fully covered, everyday bike that can function as sporty Velomobile too.

Already in 2004, relatively long sections of the cycle path along the Unstrut river were completed and the marking and signage as an Unstrut long-distance cycle path completed.

As one of the first customers and users of a BTurtle in the Ruhr area, we had got to know and appreciate Wolfgang during the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf.

Schleswig-Holstein, next to silent beaches along the North Sea and Baltic Sea coast, still offers couple of sights worth seeing and above all historical embossed inland.

We have had a number of occasions on using and reporting about the mini-caravan for the bike, in other words for the BTurtle, had some opportunities throughout Europe for testing and trying, each time with increasing enthusiasm.

The Alpe Adria Cycle Path, also known as the Ciclovia Alpe Adria Cycle Path or the Italian Ciclovia Alpe Adria, is one of the best known, about 410 km long distance cycle path from the Austrian Salzburg (or if that does not suffice, already coming from Augsburg) across the Alps to the Italian Grado on the Adriatic coast.

After exploring the Longdendale Trail in sections along the reservoirs and at the Woodhead tunnels by e-bike, we were drawn to the high plains of this part of the Pennines, also known as the backbone of England.

Now we had covered a first section of the Longdendale Trail, we had reached the Woodhead Tunnel via EBike between the gentle slopes of the Shelf Moors and the reservoirs.
