Really nice route... when you're out of Cologne there are many nice ways. Among other things, a 5km new bike path...really great...

5°C, little wind, so it didn't feel cold.
I wish all Komootlers a Merry
Christmas 🎄!
Route note: The road from Balkhausen to Gymnich is closed because work is apparently being done on the bridge over the motorway.
