It was an eventful and very beautiful weekend that we were able to experience with friends from Gronau.
Participants drove there by car. Everyone was early, and after a brief get-to-know-you session in the hotel parking lot, we set off.
The first day was more city-oriented. In Doesburg, we made our first

On our last day of vacation, we drove via Nieblum Goting in the direction of Utersum. From there you can also see quite well towards Amrum and see the lighthouse. In Utersum itself, there are beautiful benches on a hill. We sat there in the sun and also took a few photos, namely one more photo of Amrum

Very close to our domicile, in a good beach location, is the wave pool of Wyk. In the outdoor area, there is a restaurant with a terrace and sea view. We chose pizza. It was very tasty, but for our taste, not quite baked enough in the middle. We also had a lager beer. Outside, there was music from the

Far in the northwest of the island, close to the dike from which you can see both Sylt and Amrum, lies the small restaurant/café Wattenläufer. It has a rustic atmosphere. The menu is small, but quite fitting for the island. We enjoyed it again, this time, because it was lunchtime, not sweet. Afterwards

On Thursdays during the summer months, there is a small farmers' market in Oevenum according to tradition. We visit it regularly when we are on the island. After all, we bought a large Föhrer cucumber 🤩. Oterbaankins also smile friendly there again and again. These are relatives of the Puken who live

From Wyk we took the ferry to Wittdün to explore Amrum by bike. I had a completely different idea of this island and was thrilled by the diversity and beauty of nature.
The island's very wide beach is located in the southwest. As a cyclist, you hardly get to see it. Simply put, southwest was predominantly

There are many favorite spots on Föhr. We even have a little booklet. With a strong wind in our faces, we walked along the sea to the Oldsum heights. There lies the charming café in the apple orchard, which lives up to its name. Next door, at Mrs. Haferkorn's, there is good clothing. Years ago, I bought

First of all, almost as a tradition, we drove past the stork enclosure. It is operated by the nature conservation organization Elmeere. This organization takes care of nature matters on the island in various ways. Afterwards, we drove to the traditional Café Steigleder. In beautiful weather, like on

The journey to Wyk was completely free of traffic jams and relaxed, contrary to some forecasts. In Dagebüll, I still got a crab sandwich. The crossing took place in the very best North Sea summer weather. In Wyk, we moved into our very nice accommodation, located by the town forest. In the evening, we

The tour went past the Hengsen waterworks, which had recently been visited by the ADFC Sendenhorst.
For those who like downhill, uphill and downhill, uphill and downhill, I can highly recommend this tour. There were also gravel paths interspersed again and again, just to my taste. I took my fully suspended

Despite the rather high temperatures, we still got on our bikes yesterday evening. And we didn't regret it. The highlight of the excursion was the Wolbecker Tiergarten. It's always beautiful there. On the way back to Drensteinfurt, we could then enjoy the setting evening sun. Wonderful.

Our Sunday tour today led us on idyllic side roads and great forest paths through the Vinnenberger Heide before we reached the Osnabrück region. Near Füchtorf, we were again slowed down by a cycling event, as on Saturday🤩 The scent of strawberries was omnipresent. Large plantations lined the way.

We rode this beautiful tour, which can also be found on the internet and on Komoot under a similar name, today with four people in glorious summer weather. Kalle and Werner were out with us. The pace was moderate because we had a very nice conversation in good camaraderie and friendship. At the beginning

The weather was great again. We rode from Telgte, initially in an easterly, then in a southerly direction until just behind Everswinkel, around the town and then, on a westerly course, back north again. Beautiful countryside, always shady paths that occasionally required some attention because they were

It was a nice visit to the neighboring town. The evening sky on the way back was fantastic.
