Udo & Ulrike 🥾🚲

After a frosty night, we continue in double-digit temperatures and the best spring weather, amazing how much power the sun already has, to our Dutch neighbors in Winterswijk again.



Our first destination, the imposing quarry, is a unique piece of nature that owes its existence to decades of industrial

The great weather is luring us back onto our bikes today!

Always keeping the telecommunications tower in sight, we cycle enjoyably along the DEK and around Haus Lütkenbeck, then leave it behind us and concentrate fully on the beauty along the Werse and Angel in the direction of Wolbeck. It then continues

During the plum harvest, at the end of August 2022, we were cycling the highly recommended tour "Über Strombergs Burgrand schauen" from "Radeln für die Seele" =

and had sworn to hike it once during the

The cozy break on the sunny terrace of Hof Grothues-Potthoff must end at some point...



Shortly after Senden, we ride through the apple orchards of Hof Grothues-Potthoff and can then look forward to a single trail through a small wood. But the joy is short-lived, a fallen tree and thorny thicket force

For the great weather, we chose a tour to Senden today and are starting along the DEK. However, since we don't fancy the "cycle highway", we leave it already at the height of the bypass road. In close proximity to the canal, we briefly go through the large construction site "rob17"; in total, an impressive

Along the Dortmund-Ems Canal (DEK), we start in the finest spring weather through the ever-beautiful Rieselfelder (sewage farms) to the idyllic village of Gimbte. The nice village shop wouldn't have room for us, but it's too early for a break anyway. We leave the asphalt with the forest path in the Bockholter

Today we're making it outrageously easy for ourselves and referring to Jutta's very good and accurate tour description 🤭. We can only add that we missed the sun on the very beautiful tour a little, and Thomas a lot. But we were able to continue the extremely stimulating conversations in the evening

Today's WN article about the cherry blossoms made us curious and sent us on the tour. We are sure that the cherry blossoms in Speicherstadt and Schulstraße only bloomed a month later last year.



Without spending too much time on the topic, we cycle towards Speicherstadt with the first rays of sunshine

After nightly low temperatures of around 0 degrees, we start in glorious sunshine and now 12 degrees, cycle along the DEK, over the Prozessionsweg and enter the WerseRadweg at the Pleistermühle. The Werse runs for 125 km from its source near Beckum through the southern Münsterland to the mouth of the

With this fantastic weather, we officially opened the garden season today in the wonderfully spacious garden of the Gasthaus Lauheide. Today's focus was on pleasant conversations with our dear friends in Telgte! The four of us love this amazing garden ☕🍰; it's the perfect place to sit in the sunshine
