We started in Lüdinghausen with the intermediate destinations Olfen and Seppenrade. 🚴🚴‍♀️

Today we cycled the THIRD leg of the 🍀Lüdinghausen Cloverleaf Cycle Tours 1-4🍀. We had a blast on this tour, too. It went through many nature reserves. At about 30km, there's a great rest area with benches and tables.

The route leads through beautiful countryside, often along the canal and through many forest sections. The rest on the Lippe invited you to unwind.
