July 13, 2024,Münsterland Tag 6: Lüdinghausen - Münster

Overall, it was a nice last leg back to Münster. At Davenberg, our route was planned to be on the left side of the motorway. But that wasn't possible because a new bridge was being built. So we drove straight to Amelsbüren and were able to enjoy a new cycle path. Not bad either 😀
