About Franz Josef Klingen
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.
In Spanien interessiert mich die Gegend um Barcelona.

Dinner at Brasserie Marie in Cologne, Zülpicher Straße 268.
The food and atmosphere were very good. A bit simpler with a different menu, but still recommendable: Café Krümel, Zülpicher Straße 207. I parked in the parking lot of the Evangelical Hospital Weyertal.

Today, the St. Matthias Brotherhood of Niederkrüchten visited the village of Dütling near Hergarten on their pilgrimage to Trier. In the St. Apollonia Chapel, we remembered the deceased members of our brotherhood. In 2014, the Niederkrüchten SMB erected a stele in front of the chapel to commemorate its bicentennial.

A beautiful circular tour along the Meinweg on a variety of trails: tarmac roads, paved country lanes, authentic gravel paths, sandy paths, narrow trails with undergrowth and thorns—everything I love.
