Today we went on a trip with Kalle on quiet roads in Emsland. The 🌞 was our constant companion, and luckily there was shade from the trees on the side of the road on many of the roads. Taking enough drinking supplies with you is highly recommended given the current weather conditions.

Along the way you will also come across one or two stations on the Töddenland cycle route (which I can absolutely recommend). If you have a thing for history and old half-timbered buildings, this is the place for you. …
