Hometown tour - from Lendersdorf along the Ruruferradweg (Rurufer Cycle Path) to Krauthausen, then via Schophoven and Merken past the open-cast mine. A lovely stop at Echtz Lake; visitors to the restaurant are free to enter.
The Ruruferradweg (Rurufer Cycle Path) is unpaved, but it's easy to cycle. The

It's best to walk after the rain because the paths are mostly firm. The short stretch of country road isn't so good, but it was quickly "done" and therefore not a problem.
The poppy fields we were hoping for weren't on this route this year, but it

It's annoying when you can't go on the planned tour without warning. We walked right into the middle of a large-scale exercise by the fire brigade and rescue service and couldn't go any further at first. Before we stood around for another hour, we preferred to go back a bit and put up with the road.

Today we were drawn to the Brunsummerheide near Heerlen, NL. We parked in the Schaapskooiweg car park where there is plenty of parking. From there we made a very nice hike, mostly on sandy paths and trails. Some ups and downs with lots of forest, heath and water. Our round was easy to walk, very varied

If you forget when planning that your companion doesn't have an e-bike, a few climbs creep in – and then a headwind on top...🤷♀️🙈😉 Sorry about that 😘
Otherwise, most of the route was on paved dirt roads and back roads.
The scenery was a bit boring for us, perhaps due to the gray weather 🤷♀️😉
