Day 4: from Nörten-Hardenberg to Nordhausen

Ku kandziyisiwile: 30.05.2024

We left the holiday apartment this morning after breakfast in the hope that the cleaner would have a migraine-free day today (more information on this in yesterday's post).

Today, unlike yesterday, it took 3km before it started to rain, but it didn't stop all day.

In a bakery in Gieboldehausen, the waitress was kind enough to give us (unused) garbage bags.

At this point, a serious word to the manufacturers of so-called breathable rain jackets (with a water column of x-thousand mm...): Angelika and I have not cheap Gore jackets, mine has already been waterproofed three times. Angelika's is relatively new - the result is identical in both cases and, to put it politely, sobering. The moisture comes through (albeit somewhat inhibited) and breathing is not really active either. In any case, a garbage bag works better, even if it is of course not breathable.

In addition to the rain, their eyes follow us; who am I talking about? In any case, I constantly feel compelled to tell them where I work.

I work at ...

The cycle path network, meanwhile, relies on suboptimal road surfaces, which is why we decided to use country, district and federal roads, which do not always represent the shortest route, but can be used reasonably well.

Danger of swamping

As the day progressed, everything became damp, and in Nordhausen we just wanted to eat something and warm up. But at the last minute we decided to end the stage here.

Short-term goal

Especially since Corpus Christi is also being celebrated in the cathedral this evening, with a solemn procession, albeit in the church (some parishioners are in Erfurt at the Catholic Convention), the festival in which the most important thing for us Catholics is celebrated, the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

After the service and procession, we visit a pizzeria where we can enjoy a good meal after the exertions of the day. My recommendation: pork schnitzel with Bolognese sauce and baked cheese - for when you're a little hungry in between meals...
