The tour led predominantly along the edge of the forest or through the forests 🌳 …

A demanding but very beautiful round trip. Mainly gravel forest paths. 🌲🌳 The last four km made my legs heavy without a battery. 😉

Today I went to the Sauerland. Last year I had already done a few hikes 🥾 here. Today, however, I had my bike 🚲 with me. I knew that the day would definitely be long (also because of the journey 🚗).
