Klapprad-Expedition durchs Loire-Tal, seltene Bienenfresser Naturbeobachtung

Summer has finally arrived on my solo folding bike expedition! This leg of my journey along the Loire is getting really hot. I'm enjoying the freedom of bikepacking on a 20-inch wheel, discovering "ghost boats" on the riverbank, and making a rare and lucky observation: bee-eaters! Thanks to a tip from Patricia, I was able to observe these colorful birds up close.
