Second to last day. I thought the Netherlands was flat as a pancake. 400 meters of altitude say something different. Today the tour went through the Veluwezoom National Park. There are some decent hills there.
Great concrete bike path, it was fun to cycle. Beautiful mixed forest and sand dunes covered

I reached Holland without any major problems.
Passport control was quick, I had already exchanged guilders.
The cold westerly (head)wind more than made up for the missing altitude. I was really fed up.
I didn't find my first stop until 50 km later: coffee and cake at a natural campsite. It was a very pleasant rest.

At over 90 km, this was the longest stage so far. Right at the start we met a cyclist with the same day's destination. So we rode to Südlohn together.
The route was always on the Europaeadwwg R1 and is well developed, very rarely it goes through muddy forest.

Today's stage was great in terms of the route. Hardly any roads, lots of asphalted field, forest and meadow paths. It could have been so beautiful.
If a strong westerly wind hadn't whipped the rain into my face.

Detours increase local knowledge 🤣
That's why today's stage was 10 km longer than planned. But I now know that you don't have to have been to Müssen.
But you definitely have to go to Lemgo, which has a very charming town center with great half-timbered houses.

Today was quite a long tour. To start with, there was a bit of culture: the cathedral in Hildesheim. Then many kilometers parallel to the B1. The first break with beer and bratwurst was in Mehle at the local fire department's May festival.
After that, there was a lot of nature and kilometers of cycling

So next time I'll have to take more time to plan the route. From Königslutter to Hildesheim I'll cycle completely on the cycle path right next to the B1, that could definitely be done better. At least it rolled well on the asphalt.
I had a nice break in the old town of Braunschweig, the cinnamon roll

So, the first section is over. I hadn't realized how hilly the Börde is until now.
The tour itself got off to a somewhat bumpy start. My friend had to cancel the tour last night for family reasons. So my support vehicle is cancelled. But my suitcase should go in there, I didn't want to have everything

Done! After a total of 738 km, I arrived in Rotterdam in front of the de Kuip stadium today as planned.
The weather was perfect, no rain, little headwind and the scenery was beautiful all along the canals; like the Spreewald, only with fewer trees.
In the evening we met a few other FCM fans who had traveled
