The highlight was the "mountain goats" near Nordborchen, searching for food in the rock face. Great trails along the Alme, some of which no longer had water. 😢 It was very busy at Wewelsburg Castle. We were lucky that there was a free table in the castle café.

Here the cycle path leads through the pretty Hederauen and the NSG Sültsoid. After a coffee break ☕ in Salzkotten in the town hall café to Scharmede and through the NSG …

In between, I cheered on some participants of the Almetal Marathon. I'd like to point out, …

February 27, 2022,Sonntags-Fahrradtour von Sande über Salzkotten zum Flugplatz nähe Wewelsburg; dann über Alfen und Wewer zurück.

With thermal gloves and double pants, the tour was easy to manage in glorious weather. The wind was cold and your nose was red, but who cares.. The hot coffee from the thermos tasted even better. I treated myself to the pleasure at the foot of the Wewelssburg near the Almebrücke..
