EV10: Day 6: Zabenstedt to Wittenberg

Rode from the Saale river to the next (and last) Luther city. It felt so hot that day that I had decided to deviate a bit from my planned route, in order to spend the night at a camping site on a swimming lake a little south of Wittenberg. However, the roads of my detour to get there were quite terrible: in the countryside there are miles and miles of cobblestone highways. Now it seems clear to me that Hitler (who apparently put them there in the first place) must have hated cyclists as well.
My new route led me through Gräfenhainichen — but it turned out that there was a gigantic hip-hop festival going on, so I couldn’t pass through along the regular cycling route. I had to find a detour, which turned out to be a little tricky.
Then I got to the camp site at the lake, which was WAY too crowded for my taste, so I decided to go on to Wittenberg.
Wittenberg is a really pretty town, though I had little time to explore it properly. I had dinner at a restaurant before heading to my designated shelter for the night — which, as it turned out, wasn’t a shelter after all, but a simple picnic table. 🤦 So I had to improvise and put up my hammock in the woods. #cycle2finland #deutschlandperrad #111km #660hm

I slept here.
