Rushing around on the Ruhr plus a small detour to the Gruga. Garmin said drive a bit more basics. So that's what I did. 🤝

95% routes and cycle paths. Those looking for peace from traffic will find it on the route.

Head says "and go!" Legs like "haha, let's do it."
But, finally ice on the Kemnader again!

used the fall break.
Nice round. Very little road share. The Ruhrtalradweg always fits.
I'm happy to be back on the donkey.

Kemnade and Baldeneysee actually always go during the week. It makes sense to stop by the Heinrichshütte for a moment. Then again in the summer with a break in the beer garden. 🤤

Bit of a fuss, don't press the break while walking along the Kemnader. Unfortunately no ice cream truck at the start... What was going on?

Including plates. Only had a CO2 cartridge with me and learned that when the humidity is so high, a valve can freeze and you can watch the gas while walking by. 🤣

Relaxed tour. Almost only routes and cycle paths on the Ruhr and two of its most beautiful lakes. 😁
