Niederfeld Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

A great route with a great surface. Leads directly from the south into the city center of Essen. Lots of water along the way - Niederfeldsee, Kruppseee - and the Cafe Radmosphäre. My top route in Essen.

July 26, 2022,Kupferdreh Zollverein Steele kurze Variante
