July 5, 2025,Tour zum Ärchäologischen Park Xanten

The incredible average 😉 is the result of a combination of cycling and running in the Xanten Archaeological Park, which is highly recommended. Plan enough time.

A tour with plenty of variety, including use of the Bislich passenger ferry, although it doesn't always run.

Part four of our cycle tour took us to the Archaeological Museum in Xanten. The route took us over the Rhine Bridge in Wesel and then mostly along the Rhine Cycle Path. We returned by ferry at Bislich. Overall, a short but beautiful ride.

What a wonderful day! 🌞💐🌱💐🪿🌊🥰 And how lucky to have a day off like this and to be able to do a wonderful tour of the Lower Rhine!

Today we explored the route between Wesel and Bislich, which @Lustiges Wesen already knows well, having grown up in this area, but which was still completely new to me.

Great as always on the Lower Rhine 🚴👍
Unfortunately, the sun wasn't as bright as yesterday. And there was also a rain shower.
But it wasn't that bad. ✌️

August 23, 2023,Wesel. Meine Traum-Tour mit Kuchen.

There was no Richard and no Werner 2 in front of the Rhine bridge, so there was only water and no beer.
