For #footpathfriday , here's a nice path I'd say.
This is taken from a bike&hike right after the bike-part and thus the start of a very nice autumn hike last year. When I took this photo, I didn't know - and not even expect how well the rest of the day would be 🙂
Enjoy

A long-awaited bike and hike adventure in the mountains
This bike and hike adventure had been on my list for years. Starting with a long ascent on forest roads, the real challenge began when I switched to hiking—navigating faint trails along steep meadows. The reward was breathtaking views, though cloud shadows forced me to wait for the right light. A painful blister reminded me to better prepare next time, but still it was worth the day.

Mountains!
Weather forecast wasn't the best. 🌦️
But If you won't go, you won't know, right?
So get the MTBs and up up up that mountain in beautiful autumnish sunshine. 🚵🏼♀️🍂🤩
Hmpf... Diese ganzen tollen Anleitungen im Internet hätten auch gleich dazu schreiben/sagen können, dass man das Rad bei einem Bremsbelagwechsel einer Scheibenbremse der Firma Shimano, nicht auf den Kopf stellen darf...
Jetzt ist Luft in der Bremsleitung... 🙈
Hab den Fehler nun für euch gemacht, damit ihr ihn nicht machen müsst... 😅
Dann startet die Tour morgen halt mit Leihrad.
(Danke für die Aushilfe! 🙏🏼)
Immerhin Upgrade von Hardtail auf Fully. 😎🚵🏼♀️
Bike and Hike on new Trails to a Familiar Summit
Every day, I see my nearby mountain range, but it wasn’t until recently that I combined biking and hiking on the less-explored southern trails. Starting early with my bike and camera, I faced steep climbs and unexpected descents, discovering joyful moments, challenging terrain, and rewarding summit views on a quiet, memorable journey.

Yesterday I finally wrote the blog post for the bike and hike recently.
For me it was pretty tough as it was constant incline of around 1000m over around 12km with just one short exception.
The view here is from the summit down to the "plain" where we left the bikes for the final climb.

A Challenging Ride to the Summit
I recently tackled a challenging bike-and-hike ascent to a nearby mountain, covering over 1300 meters in elevation. The journey combined a steep, demanding bike climb with a rewarding hike to the summit, unveiling breathtaking views and valuable lessons on preparation, endurance, and joy in the outdoors.

The last couple of days I went through my lightroom catalog and noticed that I never published the #photos from this bike & hike last august.
Again one of the areas that I wanted to visit since .. really long. But that day we just set out - despite the weather forecast and tried to have a great day.

Join me on a nostalgic summer adventure from last year, where I explored a beautiful hiking trail with my wife and braved unexpected rain. Recollecting this experience, I realized how each moment, from the lush forestry to the rain-soaked return, contributed to our memorable day in the mountains.
