Highlight • Trail

Beautiful sight. A few meters further on, it's worth taking a short detour to Bahnhofstr. to the “Alte Kaffeemühle” for a scoop of ice cream or a piece of cake.

November 25, 2021,🚴 Tour nach Melle 🌧️🌧️🙉😄

🤧 .... since my dentist is based in Melle, I wanted to combine the dentist appointment with a bike tour today. I took a little time for a little city tour in Melle ... it's already very Christmas🎄😊.
The return trip turned out to be a rainy trip and quite uncomfortable ... I decided to go the shortest distance 🙉😒🌧️🌧️🚴.

With Andre to Gut Bruche🚴.
Andre didn't know Gut Bruche and since I have a preference for manor houses, it was a good occasion for me to accompany Andre and to be seen there again
PS .... ☕🍰Cake at the end of the Hücker Moor had to be back of course.

October 22, 2022,🚴🏻‍♀️ Tour bewusst gegen den Wind 💨, im Gepäck nun viel mehr Charakter 😉

When I asked the community how I can better endure the headwind, I got a.o. also the tip: Headwind strengthens the character 😀
It worked @Waldkäuzchen 🦉, thanks again for that 🫶🏻

During today's "highway ride" I also had the thought that the headwind with the e-bike had hardly been noticed. Nevertheless, the decision to switch to an organic bike …

September 19, 2024,Fahrradtour_Eicken-Kirchlengern_19.09.2024

Today I had to do a few things in Melle, and since I still had time afterwards, I started a tour towards Bünde. I was actually supposed to visit the Elsemühle, but the access roads to the mill and the Elsebrücke are closed due to road construction work. So a small detour via Kirchlengern was necessary. Along the Else on …
