The Tour of Flanders is Belgium's most brutal day in the saddle. The bike-crazed Flemish don't just send riders over cobblestone roads. Nor are they content to break the racers' legs with nearly 20 steep hills. No, the worst of all cycling worlds meet in Flanders with narrow, vertical roads paved with slippery, dangerous cobbles. The hills are so steep they are called "muurs", or walls, and they come one after another, for hours, until the riders are shattered with exhaustion. The Tour of Flanders is so fiendishly difficult that the man who wins it earns everlasting fame.

In seinen Wanderungen durch Thüringen, gelesen vom gebürtigen Weimarer Benjamin Kramme, ist es Bechsteins Alter Ego Otto, das seinen Freunden Lenz und Wagner eindrucksvoll seine thüringische Heimat präsentiert.

Kornelimünster – die malerische Ortschaft an der Inde ist mit der Abtei unzertrennlich verbunden, die Geschicke der beiden sind eng miteinander verflochten, so dass es unmöglich ist, sie voneinander getrennt zu betrachten.
