Coming back into Diez with its castle that is now a youth hostel and museum.

The Schloss Oranienstein, a military compound that I couldn’t ride through.

Turning away from the river there was this cute airedale, a young female. Also the compound on the middle left is a prison.

This is a series of 14 video clips from today’s metric century ride out the Hohe Straße (Via Regia) to Hammersbach Marköbel, then roads to Ronneburg (castle there), and continuting on a mix of roads and trails to the Nidda Route at Niddatal. The title comes from another Strava rider’s ride title for the basic route.

First is the Hohe Straße starting on the eastern edge of Bergen-Enkheim.

The next segment on the Hohe Straßse was above Kilianstädten. Lots of wind turbines.

The next Hohe Straßse segment was Windecken to Ostheim. I was pacing some sort of raptor at the beginning of the clip.

The last of the Hohe Straße segments is Hirzbach to Marköbel. I stopped for coffee and a pastry at Bäckerei Bär in Marköbel.

His is actually V. Out of Marköbel I was riding the L3009 heading uphill, sort of like climbing out of Rosslyn, but twice as long and twice the elevation gain.

Riding through Ronneburg. You and sort of see the castle early in the clip.

Approaching Höchst a.d. Nidder. This shows one of the frustrating things about German cycle routes, how they will sometimes just veer away from the road they are following and lead you who knows where.

Bypassing Altenstädten and looping past Kloster Engelthal.

I was riding my Rove instead of my Pistola because when I went to the storage room, I found a flat rear tire on the Pistola and I didn’t want to bother to change it. Since I was on he Rove I decided I should explore some gravel and started deviating from my planned route.

Still playing on the gravel I found part of the DT Limes Radweg. There was fresh gravel, but it was compacted and mied with crushed stone so it was more cycle friendly than what I was riding on Sunday.

Back on the road and heading down to the Nidda Route I passed through Bönstadt.
