Back in familiar territory.
🏘️
To keep in practice, a tour with the gravel bike to the Venekotensee in the Elmpter Schwalmbruch was on the agenda.
🌅
It was a beautiful ride at quite pleasant temperatures.

Stage 6
To conclude the holiday, I completed another short, crisp gravel round.⛰️
It was "bone dry" everywhere today, and in some places I wished I had an MTB.
I had to stay seated on the saddle, 😅 so that my rear wheel wouldn't spin.
🏰
The main attraction of the tour was the detour to Ebernburg.
The way

Today is a rest day!
😇
The "Flachlandtiroler" (lowlander Tyrolean) had to ride on the flat after the altitude meters of the past few days.
It's not that easy to find something adequate in this area.
The tourist route to Bingen was almost inevitably the obvious choice.
The catch was that the way there and

Day 4 in Naheland, and again over 30°. 😰 Not really my weather. A short tour still had to be done. Yesterday I had discovered a few interesting path options. I tried them out today. I have to say, I can only recommend the tour. However, in parts only with an all-terrain bike, minimum gravel. The scenery

After yesterday's strenuous tour, I actually wanted to ride with relaxed legs.
It worked out quite well, until I discovered the ruin on the hill. So no hesitation, ride up.
👀
A beautiful complex. Nowadays it is used as a gastronomic establishment.
The remaining walls are currently being restored.
It was

Today, the recording didn't work out so well.
But it was my fault and not Komoot's.🤔
As my wife always says so nicely:
In most cases, the idiot is sitting in front of the PC and not in it.🤪
It was still a great tour with beautiful trails. Only the section Monzingen/Martinstein on the B41 is awf....💩.

Day 1 in Bad Kreuznach.
Sightseeing of the city center, the Nahe river with promenade and the salt works.
It was more
"walking and standing around with the camera"
than cycling.
Nice city!

It drew me to Limburg again today.😅
But the further I got towards Valkenburg, the more intense the road bike traffic became. 😕
So I decided to limit myself to the Geleenbeektal.
As a result, I rode a few nice loops around Nuth, Schinnen and Oirsbeek.
Also discovered something new.
An old manor house, Huis

Originally, my ride today wasn't supposed to go through the Netherlands.😆
But since I didn't want the good bike 🚲 to get wet,
⛈️
I had no choice but to steer towards the blue gaps between the deep black clouds.
👅
I almost succeeded. After all, 42km were actually covered.
Only a short, heavy sleet shower

In the nasty cold wind, I tried to hide a little on the way to my destination today, the Mynekomplas. 🙃
This lake is fed by the Bosbeek, which originates near As. The stream meanders for about 24 km through the landscape until behind Aldeneik, before it flows into the Maas.
➿
Once there, I just rode down

On my Sunday inspection round, I found another critical construction site.
😟
In Ratheim on the Rur, the bridge is being renovated.
It looks like only the surface is being renewed.
The accompanying cycle path has also been milled away. (which was urgently needed!)😜
The whole thing involves a complete closure

After the mixed weather of the past week, it was time for a more extensive tour again.
⏱️
I hadn't been to the Niers and Viersen for a while.
So I had to check if there was anything new to discover.👀
And lo and behold, the former bumpy path between Rasseln and Mönchengladbach has been newly asphalted.

Today it was cloudy and there was only little wind.😗
During my ride (freestyle) I crossed the border again and again, and as so often ended up in one of my favorite spots near Merkelbeek/Brunssum.
😄
Despite the moderate weather, there were quite a few cyclists out.
I dodged them a bit on the tourist routes
