Finally, you reach the northern arm of the S7 again. So, roll down from Lüttringhausen through the small-scale valley of the Marscheider Bach. Deviations from the "regular tour" also by a detour

The two construction sites in the title:
1. Construction of a large roundabout in the center of Meerbusch-Osterath. Not much is visible above ground from the major construction site (meerbusch.de/aktuelles/nachrichten/details/bahnunterfuehrung-osterath-strassennrw-kuendigt-baustart-anfang-september-an

actually just a leisurely tailwind tour. On the way there was train chaos: probably due to a broken-down freight train, the RE19 advanced to Empel-Rees with a +45 delay, and stood there

Due to the beautiful tailwind and perfect temperatures, a pleasure tour on both sides of the Rhine. Special features:

64 photos, sunny, SW wind, 18°, arrival via RB33 and RE13 via Viersen. Actually, one could start directly in Kaldenkirchen; however, this first station on the German side welcomes visitors with a certain shabbiness and steep stairs:-( Therefore, it's better to take the 6 extra km from Venlo.

Today mostly on poorly developed roads and partly on "natural" paths through the municipalities of Heinsberg, Wassenberg, Wegberg, Schwalmtal, Niederkrüchten and Viersen. Quite hilly and a surprise

Plan B again: The tour was actually supposed to start in Venlo, but "short-term staff shortage" prevented the connection in Viersen. Also beautiful, especially the sections along the railway line between Viersen and Neersen or at the building

Pedelec Hilden-Duisburg, 74 photos, cheerful, light southerly wind, 26°, arrival via S1
Itter and Dickelsbach are among the far second most important right tributaries of the Rhine. They are linked together in today's small photo stroll, and the ones in between, like Düssel and Angerbach, are not neglected

Pedelec Mönchengladbach-Wickrath - Duisburg, 17 photos, partly cloudy, moderate west wind, 13°, arrival RB33
