About Franz Josef Klingen
Ich wohne am mittleren Niederrhein und fahre dort gerne durch die Gegend (Niederrhein, Limburg, Eifel,...). Urlaub in Deutschland mache ich bevorzugt am Edersee (wegen Segelmöglichkeit), in Ostfriesland, auf der Schwäbische Alb und im Bodenseeraum.
In Frankreich bevorzuge ich die Opalküste und den Süden mit Zwischenstops in Burgund und Umgebung. Ich fahre seit Beginn des Jahres 2023 ein universell einsetzbares Cube Kathmandu SLX 750 und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Da ich erst seit Anfang 2023 bei Komoot bin, muss ich noch zahlreiche frühere Touren nachtragen, die ich mit dem Programm Scout getrackt habe.

The hamlet “Meinweg” with its 12 houses is located directly behind the German border near Oberkrüchten.
Nikolaus Houben was the first settler on Meinweg, the border region between Oberkrüchten and Herkenbosch. On April 1, 1881, he settled there with his wife Kornelia, six children and a goat. At first…

Since (free) parking spaces are rare in Viersen city center, I combined my visit to the St. Matthias Brotherhood Day in Viersen with a short walk. I parked next to the police headquarters at the district headquarters in a large parking lot that is free to use on Saturday and Sunday.
The path took me past…

Short autumnal walk along the edge of the forest in very windy weather (approx. 50km/h) above Tetelrath - also suitable as a dog walk. The photos speak for themselves.

A short bike ride around the Meckenheimer Kreuz, where the A61 and A565 intersect. At this intersection of the highways there is a large fruit-growing area (with many pick-up points) and large tree nurseries that not only produce many varieties of fruit trees in their districts but also have a wide range available.

Since I'm attending the summer festival of the association "Bretonen in Not e.V." When I visited the KV Erfttal 1958 e.V. facility, I took a short walk along the Erft, which is currently flowing quietly here. In times of flooding, things look completely different, as the destroyed river crossings show.

On the way back from Trier to the Lower Rhine, we ended up more or less by chance for lunch in the restaurant at the Hohenbusch campsite. It is probably a special campsite that was voted the most beautiful campsite in Belgium in 2022.
There is a large, free parking lot in front of the campsite, which…
