June 14, 2024,🏞️🛥️ Die Wasserwege von Lünen 🏘️⚒️

My "Germany exploration plan" 👀 sent me to Lünen 🏘️ in the Unna district today. Lünen is also the largest city in this district.

I picked the hike out of my Germany hiking book ⛏️. The original mining hike was too short for me at first and after adjusting the length I just didn't like the profile that much 🤭. …

A nice weekend tour with my daughter Antje along the Hamm-Dattel Canal with spring-like temperatures and plenty of sun. Wanderer, what more do you want? A stop at the Eiscafe San Remo in Lünen was a welcome change: my daughter bought me a walnut sundae for my birthday. Tasty tasty.
We will do the tour again when everything is green …

First of all, a big thank you to Detlef Nordengrün, whose tour a week ago drew my attention to the Lünen circular hiking trail. This tour is very varied and still easy to walk because the path is well marked. Also on almost every second lantern is a sticker with the inscription KACKE. I googled this in connection with Lünen, …

Thanks to the person who gave the idea: Johanna?
And since Antje, Detlef and Flemming here at Komoot were also so enthusiastic about the path, I had to go again for a short time at noon today.
Thank you for your suggestion regarding the ice cream parlour, a very nice opportunity to take a break.
The tour was really worth …
