Today there was a bit of everything ☀️🌦️💨, and the best part - our fish stand at the well-known spot.
Due to the power lines, which are laid underground as earth cables throughout, some service roads ⭕️ were blocked. But it was no problem, the detour was just as beautiful. 🙋♂️

Very quickly to Winterswijk, buy coffee, eat fish and then quickly back home - that was the plan.
The access roads to the center were closed, bicycles & cars everywhere and if you listened very carefully, music was being played/made somewhere. Looked for a place to park the bikes and then we joined the

The Üfter Mark 🌲 🌳and the Dämmerwald nature reserve 🌲 🌳 were the destination of our 🚲 tour today. A light, autumnal feeling set in with the many deciduous leaves on the paths. Anyone who loves the forest is in the right place here, but whether a bike tour through the Dämmerwald is necessary

One of the mattresses in the 🚐 motorhome is slowly losing its shape and since we like to shop locally, we looked for a dealer and found one in Gescher.
Past the Gemen castle and ever further along the farmer's favorite plant 🌽 we reached our destination.
Just in time for ☕️ we were back home. 🙋♂️

If you cycle 🚲 from Harlesiel in the direction of the west, it could become a small culinary tour with the following stops:
- 🧁 directly at the harbour car park in Neuharlingersiel there is a mobile ice cream stand (my tip - stracciatella with lots of cream and sauce in a waffle cone)
- 🐟 at the fishery

Last August was the last time we were in Harlesiel, and the dike meadows are still occupied by sheep just as they were in the past. Perhaps the behavior of the 🐑 has changed a little, but I haven't noticed it consciously in recent years. That 🐑 often walk one after another on the dike crest like a

The Eis-Lounge 🍨 in Maria Veen, the Münsterland locals also like to call it Eisdiele 😉, is a destination for a delicious ice cream with a shady spot.
On Saturdays, unfortunately, there is no table service and the order is taken directly at the counter and the ice cream is handed over in a paper cup

Late morning we did a small 🚲 tour. After yesterday's 🌧️ rain, we enjoyed the pleasant scent 👃🏻 of nature. It was nice 😁. 🙋🏼♂️
For those interested 🫣:
During dry periods, plants release certain oils that accumulate in the soil and rocks. When it first rains, these substances are released again

For me, there aren't many reasons to cycle to Winterswijk, but Backfisch 🐟 is one of them. A few kilometers of our tour led over small paths running alongside the sandy, dusty field path.
Normally quite nice to cycle, until a tractor 🚜 with a trailer comes towards you. The cloud of dust, still some

How I got annoyed with "komoot" again today 😡, to quickly plan a short tour - not today.
So we took our bikes 🚲 and set off in the simplest way 😁 - following our noses - always mindful not to use a busy road.
It turned out to be a beautiful tour, without sweat 😓 and 🔆 sunscreen. 🙋🏼♂️

On my old 🚲 bike saddle, the cover came loose on the side, in the rain the saddle absorbed quite a bit of moisture, which was naturally squeezed out on the next tour. This not only feels uncomfortable 😲, it also 🫢 looks silly.
Next tour destination: Rose Biketown Bocholt.

Ameland, you love this island and always discover something new or think you have seen and experienced everything after a few days. We still know the legendary 🎸 Popcentrum "de Kronkel" and experienced Cuby & Blizzard and Golden Earring live there, Shocking Blue also played there, but I'm not sure

Today we cycled to "Uitzichtpunt 't Oerd" in the east of the island. I remember today's viewing platform as a ruin of a bunker complex from the Second World War. From the platform, a path leads to the mudflat side, undoubtedly the most impressive nature reserve on Ameland. During the breeding season

Between the rain showers 🌧️, we took a short tour through the 🏘️ holiday home settlement between Nes and Buren. Most of the houses are rentable, recognizable by the signs at the access path and well occupied. In recent years, many quite simple houses have been demolished and replaced by luxurious residences

In glorious weather ☀️ we cycled a small 🚲 tour once again, our destination was the "NSG Kranenmeer" near Heiden. The sight 😟 was frightening, the water level was extremely low and in some places there was no water at all. I had previously described the NSG Kranenmeer as a natural highlight on earlier
