November 20, 2022,Münsterland - Mit Väterchen Frost zur Burg Hülshoff

Ice-cold and clear air: it's winter. The sun is barely strong. In this wonderful weather we didn't run a lap not far from Münster. Start and finish was Hülshoff Castle, where a warming soup tasted very good after the tour through a typical Münsterland landscape. The round is really recommended.
