If you are in #Munich and the greater Munich area #Sunday to come (Apr, 21), get yourself a #bicycle and join a joyous #bikeride, the #Sternfahrt rally: bike convoys are going to leave from 4 meeting points in Munich as well as from #Augsburg,#Rosenheim + several towns within the S-Bahn urban railway network. Find your preferred start here: https://muenchen.adfc.de/sternfahrt#c139775

A #bikeride on the #Autobahn #A95 will be the highlight of all routes.

I felt lucky that I had been able to buy a #bike #ticket on #DeutscheBahn #ICE trains for today's travel to #Dresden. All went fine until I discovered on the platform at #Leipzig Hbf that my connecting ICE 1559 wouldn't come with bike racks. I went to the information desk which sent me to the ticket office two floors down.

While queueing there I checked #bahn.de to discover that I would have been able to buy a bike ticket for this very ICE at that very moment. @mastobikes_de @fedibikes 1/2

Wish you all a pleasant #NewYear's Eve with this #rosemary plant, flowering on my balcony at 48.1°North, on Dec 31, 22. May the New Year see more encouraging measures to keep our planet habitable for all of us, not only the super-rich.

#XMasTomatoes! This #tomato plant (raised from seeds taken from an #organic #tomato) had too many green fruits when it got too cold on the balcony. Although the fruits have not been notably bigger indoor since, they will be ripe in time for #boxingday #brunch.

Even when crowded and muddy #Munich's #sustainable #winterfest #Tollwood stays welcoming, pleasant and friendly. #concerts, #performances, #organic food and #fairtrade gifts, the market boothes keep open til Friday to come.

Although you'll easily find #vegetarian and #vegan options (partially) #organic #restaurants in #Salzburg /#Austria seem to focus on #omnivores. My favourite new discovery however is a tiny #Italo #Austro #Croatian #delicatessen: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-salzburg-restaurants

#Salzburg is a perfect destination for a climate-friendly #city trip by #train or #bike. You have a beautiful room in a luxurious #sustainable #hotel run in accordance w/ the https://ecogood.org principles - and then the great disappointment: it has a view on the hotel's parking lot packed with obese cars. So where to stay in #Mozart's birthplace? https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-salzburg-hotels has updates.

Perhaps the last #sunny #weekend for this year with more than 25°C in #Munich -- and some of the city's #organic #icecream parlours are already closed. So here's an updated list: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-icecream

This time I had time for #lunch in #Verona, and it seems that #organic #food in #RomeoAndJuliet's city is #vegetarian and #vegan: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-verona-restaurants-cafes

#Organic #icecream in #Verona! This year I finally managed to have some on my way back from #Venice: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-verona-icecream

That was all. The way back to #Munich we trust in #ÖBB, #train tickets for us and the bikes are already in place.

Arrived in #Venice! The final leg of the #MuenchenVenezia #bikeroute https://www.muenchen-venezia.info/ from #Conegliano to #Venezia is flat, dry and hot. The usual #Veneto #bicycle route mix: leisurely alleys in the shade along the river, here and there separated communal #bikelanes of varying quality, shared traffic on not too highly frequented roads. The route is marked but often with small signs easy to be missed. We did not follow it strictly but cut off here and there on local bikeroutes.

The 4rd leg of the #MuenchenVenezia #bikeroute https://www.muenchen-venezia.info/ starts nicely downhill on a paved separated bikeroute out of #Cortina. At Località Socol the route u-turns to the left into the gravel nuisance of a hiking trail.
It becomes a bicycle route worth the name after you leave the municipality of Cortina d'Ampezzo on the former train bed to St. Vito di Cadore, and further on along the #Cadore valley. Comfortable cycling with great views.

2nd leg on the #MünchenVenezia #bikeroute https://www.muenchen-venezia.info/: Lazy start on the urban train from #Innsbruck to #Brennero, and from there: let loose and roll on on the track bed of the old train line. Easy. Cycling started around #Sterzing. Lots of cyclists on the way, but there is no minute without the constant noise of fossile fuelled passively moved obese cars on the #autostrada.

For both, #nerds and #families the #maritime #city of #Bremerhaven is definitely worth a visit, with lots of things to do for those interested in #science, #ships, #history and more. For #climatefriendly #organic #food and provisions see my new #travelguide

A frontier city back in the days of the Cold War, the city of #Hof, located at the #Saale #bicycle_route , allows a glimpse of the archetypal #West_German medium-sized town of the 1990ies. Here's the my #organic #travelguide to #Hof_Saale: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-hof

What surprised me most about #esslingenamneckar 's beautiful medieval old town was not just the abundance of small #owner-run shops but the existence of more than one #fashion workshops cum #boutiques offering #fairly priced #locally produced designs made from natural materials: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-esslingen-shopping
