Very nice tour with a strong headwind. Paths through small towns and of course past the North and South Seas. Little refreshment at Pier 5 😊

We looked at the high ropes course in Xanten because we wanted to climb there with our grandchildren 👦👦... but no, "cobbler, stick to your last"...
then rather the climbing garden at Pröbstingsee 👍👍... the circuit around the South & North Sea was nice to drive again 🚴‍♂️ 🚴‍♀️

Afterwards, on site, we decided to bypass the Xanten South Sea and the Xanten North Sea.
We went there on the left bank of the Rhine, and returned from Bislich on the right bank of …

But it wasn't that bad. ✌️

Today I wanted sun, water, culture and nature, so I planned a bike tour.
It started in Wesel, partly along the Rhine. After about 13km there is the ferry that takes you to the other side. Then it's on to Xanten, an unbelievable city that I have to go to again without my bike. So many sights, it takes time. …
