The most beautiful stage at the end! After Limburg, we first visited the BW barracks in Oranienstein Castle, where @John had served. From Diez, the most spectacular part of the trail began with steep slopes and a very narrow valley. In the venerable spa town of Bad Ems, we treated ourselves to a longer

I only got wet once, which is very easy to endure. This stage led past prominent Hessian cities such as Gießen, Wetzlar, and Weilburg. Furthermore, the proportion of paths directly on the river was significantly higher than on the first stage. In addition, everything, including the diversions, was perfectly

Contrary to all the worst weather forecasts, we didn't encounter a single drop of rain today and were thus able to calmly tackle the first stage of the Lahntalweg (a new edition of the tour from 2012). This time we started not in Lützel, but in Siegen. The feeder to the source at Lahnhof was about 20

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

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

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.

Salzbergen
Bentlage monastery
Göttergabe saltworks with graduation tower
Rheine
Ibbenbüren
Osnabrück.

To round things off, we took a stroll through Koblenz. Dinner at the Greek restaurant "Syrtaki" in Südliche Vorstadt, recommended!
