Under bad omens we set out to do stage 02 & 03 of the Neanderland fuss..

Started very well. Many thanks to the Öffies (train & bus strike)!

The second stage continues where the first left off. Beautiful paths offer a unique experience of nature. In the foothills of the Bergisches Land, you will be challenged again and again by slight climbs, at the end two sightseeing highlights await the hiker with the Neviges Cathedral and the old town. Overall, the same applies to this stage: thumbs up.
