Bicycle tours 15.7. and 16.7.2009

On 15.7., I have to get the kids with the bicycles to Bad Fischau/Brunn and take advantage of the situation to add a short bicycle ride from Fischau to Dreistetten and back via Muthmannsdorf and Gaaden, about 20 km.
When I come home from shopping on 16.7. I see the sunflower fields and decide to do a short bicycle ride to the nearby fields.

15.7.: First I have to admire the large sun flower field between the two village parts Bad Fischau and Brunn

Inside the forest near the road to Dreistetten: this field was seeded with buckwheat, but Lacy Scorpion weed (Fiddle neck, Phacelia tanacetifolia) and oilseed rape from past years are mixing up with these.
