Before tomorrow's client meeting, a quick stroll through Lüchow, with its small old town and the two rivers, the Jeetzel and the Drawehner Jeetzel. A lovely little town where time seems to have stood still in some places.

Today, we first tackled the last 5 km of the Vennbahn. Then we climbed and descended the Éislek, with fantastic views every now and then. After a downhill ride with a 17.7% gradient, we reached the enchanting Our Valley. Unfortunately, there was a cycling race taking place around Vianden, and the best

Today we cycled along the Vennbahn, which, at 125 km long from Aachen to northern Luxembourg, is one of the longest railway lines in Europe. What can I say? It's absolutely worth the ride. The scenery is very charming with great views, many shady sections, pleasant climbs, and—in keeping with the theme

Long weekend, let's go on the border tour today! After starting in Mönchengladbach, we headed through the left bank of the Lower Rhine, first to the Dutch border, which we crossed five times. We also reached Germany's westernmost point in the Selfkant region. Around there, we switched to the grassland

It's done: In nine stages around Duisburg, Mülheim and Oberhausen, see also the collection of the same name: komoot.com/de-de/collection/2396420/-duisburg-muelheim-oberhausener-rundweg.
The start today was in Kettwig with its historic old town worth seeing. After crossing the Ruhr, we quickly went into

And another after-work round, which was quite short due to the early darkness.
Partly identical to the Kettwig Panoramasteig, towards the end we first went along the Ruhr and then into the old town of Kettwig to the pub "New Parlament", where one or two delicious Stauder Pils were waiting for us.

Because of the shortest distance from the workplace to the starting point, today's stage was very suitable as an after-work round trip. However, the weather was not, which blessed us with several showers.
At first on unknown paths, the Mülheim circular route ended up being identical to the Kettwig Panoramasteig

From Haus Ripshorst, the path took us to the north of Mülheim in great light and clouds, which were very green. The stops were Gleispark Frintrop
Läppkes Mühlenbach
Lepkeshof, a well-stocked farm shop that sells freshly smoked Mettwurst from Wednesday to Saturday. The Oberhausen part of the circular route

We continued along the Oberhausen section of the three-city circular route, again with a very high proportion of greenery. Only a short walk today, as it got very late yesterday.

Today we have come full circle and arrived back in Osnabrück. Conclusion: A very varied tour with a negligible amount of elevation.
After starting in Lingen, the following stops:
Former Lingen nuclear power plant
Salzbergen
Bentlage monastery
Göttergabe saltworks with graduation tower
Rheine
Ibbenbüren
Osnabrück.

On to the second stage, again in optimal conditions. Since the tour would have been too short at 80 km, we made a detour to the Netherlands just behind Meppen to pay a visit to the "Bargerveen" moorland. It's worth it!
Today's stops:
Löningen
Haselünne
Meppen
Zwaartemeer
Bargerveen
Geeste reservoir
Lingen

Another short evening walk to find the right restaurant. Recommendation: Franziskaner am Markt, delicious!

What a tour, what dream weather! There couldn't be better conditions for a successful day! The opening stage of the Hase-Ems tour started in Osnabrück and followed the course of the Hase towards the north. Sometimes along the river, sometimes along the canal, sometimes over quiet country roads, and always

That was a stage completely in the countryside and highly recommended! The start was at Revierpark Mattlerbusch. After a few meters we changed from the Duisburg route to the Oberhausen circular route. Then via the Holten fort, briefly on the Emscher and HOAG route and the SGV Hiesfelder Wald to the Rotbachtal

My first trip back to Brussels since 1999, this time to visit our Belgian branch. From the hotel, I headed straight through a modern office district and pedestrian zone to the Grand Place, Manneken Pis, and then on to "Beer Capital." The beer was so delicious that I accidentally paused the recording
