Mam Vëlo op d’Schaff, in short MVOS, is a yearly bike to work (or school) campaign run by the Verkéiersverbond (National Public Transport Community) from May 15 to July 31. They also encourage the participation of members on social networks; this year the hashtag was #mvos2018.
So I decided to make a Map, using the tools from VeloViewer, which does the job much better and faster than me.

But I have shot several photos and published 225 of them on my Gallery! Below is a small sample of the landscape I shot either on my way to work, or most likely after work. With the long days I was able to do several (de)tours and explore roads and tracks I have never been before.

I really love the #PC12Lux part in the forest between Eischen and Steinfort, will try Hovelange soon.

A “short” (de)tour after work via the famous #Hobscheid tunnel on #pc12lux, following some forest exploration. I’d like to play some trumpet or didgeridoo in there

To be at the right place at the right time, and an invisible scenery to motorists.

#mvos2018, done. Today I was privileged not only to cycle to work but also to do a business trip by bike.
A touch of summer in November while hiking in the woods and vineyards.
Start: Mutzig train station
End: Molsheim train station
Length: 13.5 km
Track: GPX file or GPSies link.
Photos: photo gallery and photo map.
Hangman – it was the week of Halloween. Noticed a lawyer’s name on the letter box next to this.
House – an old but still inhabited house in Mutzig
Chapelle Notre-Dame des Sept Douleurs (Heilighiesel) – unfortunately not a peaceful place as it lies next to a busy road.
(not so wild) life – at the second we stepped into their field, they came to us to see what’s going on.
Goat eating fallen leaves like I would eat a bowl of peanuts.
Direction signs – at this stage we left the yellow circle to follow the red symbols.
Here we starting climbing. It’s a steep but very short climb.
Rocher du Geissfels – where this narrow trail took us to
The tree revenge – metal blended by the growing tree
Many leaves from various trees
Changing direction but staying on the marked trail
The forest path became a track

Autumn colours – back to the forest
Littering is one thing I do not understand.

Yes, it’s November…
