May 11, 2024,🇩🇪: Bergisches Land, Talsperren, alte Bahntrassen und Café Wild 🚴‍♀️ ⛅️ 💯 😜
Today we went through the Bergisches Land to the Bruchertalsperre, Lingesetalsperre and Bevertalsperre.
Of course, the beautiful old railway lines in our region could not be missed 😉.
After 3/4 of the tour there was the highlight Café Wild, where it was nice and quiet and empty at 5 p.m.
