A short circuit was planned along the Diemel cycle path. Unfortunately, we hadn't reckoned with the obstacles from the last storm - flooded and buried paths. But it wasn't a big problem with the mountain bikes.

I actually only wanted to hang around on the rings and climb over the wall a few times in the outdoor park in Trendelburg shortly after work. 😉 But the weather was too nice and the forest lured me after all!🤷‍♀️🤗😅 The altitude meters can't be right, they were definitely less!🤔

Four of us rode one of my favorite laps!😍☺ Just great trails and through the beautiful Holzapetal! 🤗 Sometimes we got a few small scratches through the lush vegetation! It doesn't matter! 😅 That's how it is in summer! 😉😅🤷‍♀️ The obligatory break in Wülmersen in Café Mehlschwalbe couldn't be missed either! ☺😋☕🍰👌
A fun and all-round successful Sunday afternoon!☺😃🤗

I actually wanted to go to the Skywalk Willingen, but there were hundreds of people there today. I didn't have any other plans, so I quickly picked another tour: the border triangle of North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, and Hesse.
