This morning I was forced to pack up all things on my own for the first time (the tent, sleeping bag, bike bags) and I was extremly proud how good I did it. After a breakfast (Laugenecken + chocolate) I headed out and had again a 30 km mountain ascent which was pretty rough. I often had to push the bike instead of the steepness but with the rigth playlist and a lot of breaks I went on. The last meters of the ascent was harder than yesterday however I made it to the highest point of the whole trip at 995 Hm near to Oy-Mittelberg. This was a crazy achievement for me and the descent felt like a huge reward, plus the new view of the next part of the Alps. There were many E-bikers and some other „normal bikers“. I met one teacher from NRW (region of Germany) who was on the last day of the trip on this trail and rode with him for approximately half an hour. After lunch, again a lot of ascents and descents, a lot of emotional highs and lows I reached Füssen, the Forggensee and the river Lech where I made a break. Next landscape highligth were Schloss Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. It was almost evening and I had underestimated the ascents of the morning extremly so I had to call the mom of my best friend Anna that she picked me up 15 km before Bad Kohlgrub, the home of her grandparents were my destination of the day was.
I took the front wheel off at the petrol station at Trachgau, loaded the bike into the car and was in Bad Kohlgrub by 7am. There we had to replace the front brake cable, which was already very battered from the ride and was already a safety risk at this point (thanks to Anna’s dad & mom for the help).
After a delicious Brotzeit and some chatting with Anna we went to bed.
The highest point!!
