Small final tour after today's strenuous training day. Since we finished classes early for dinner today, I decided to go for a little de-stressing tour after dinner 🚶♂️. Many beautiful views and at least 50% singletrack trails 🧙♂️🍼👍. Unfortunately, it quickly got too dark, so I had to skip some

.. actually this stage is about 26 - 28 km, which was too much for me today, so I decided to split this stage, Leichlingen offered itself well as an endpoint.
Info: this stage corresponds only to 50% of the original, when I was faced with the choice of the original path through a housing estate or turning

In den Jahren 1603 und 1906 wurde dieses einzigartige Baudenkmal unter Wahrung der Renaissance-Ornamentik erweitert.
Vermutlich befand sich im Erdgeschoss hinter den Rundbögen eine offene…

So... the second stage is done... unfortunately it didn't quite meet the high expectations (from the first stage)... one could consider this stage completely as a "Meditative Walk"... and if possible, you shouldn't do it at the current temperatures... long unprotected stretches...🥵🌞...definitely take

After I stomped through the second stage of the Neandertalweg yesterday and the little village of Homberg pleased me very much once again, it made sense to do a small round there today (Without a long drive and public transport).
KOMOOT seems to have a bug " once again ", it was NOT 490 meters of altitude
