Tour 10 from the book, Cycling for the Soul (Lower Rhine)
There isn't much to see on the tour but it was a very relaxing ride on the old railway lines👍

This tour comes from the book "Cycling for the Soul of the Lower Rhine". The tour is very nice, but I have changed it slightly in two places. Firstly, at the start and end of the tour at the motorway bridge, and secondly, the loop in Willich is not planned as such.
