Despite it being our departure day, we took advantage of the beautiful weather today for a short hike.
It was worth it.
We spotted red deer. Two large bucks were fighting with their antlers. It was fascinating to watch.
Unfortunately, the animals then fled from us separately. But observing nature is truly something special.

A short break wouldn't be complete without some exercise. The paths around Haddorf Lake are mostly very beautiful and accessible. Only the area around the quarry lake is closed off due to active sand extraction, with naturally formed mounds overgrown with vegetation.
Due to the recent snowfall, many paths

We went for a short walk before breakfast, and thus before the heavy rain started. Unfortunately, I must have stopped my walk halfway through and continued it as a second part.
The weather was still somewhat sunny in the morning, and there was a wonderful sunrise over the Ems River.

Perfect autumn weather for hiking.
From the marina park in Walchum, we hiked around the Herzogsee lake. We continued along the Emsweg trail to Sustrum.
We crossed the Ems River and went over the Dortmund-Ems Canal at the lock in Düthe.
Then we returned along the canal and the Ems River.

There are also beautiful spots in Hamm and the surrounding area.
Back from East Frisia, we were cycling around our hometown today.
We passed the Lippe River and Radbodsee, where swans were roaming with their young.
We saw fields of corn and thistles/sunflowers,
young horses, wind turbines, harvest wagons

Today it was mostly dry, but only because the wind was blowing the rain clouds away.
The tour would have been great if the weather was nice, even though some of the routes led along main roads and there was a lot of tree root damage on the bike paths.
To warm up, we wanted to go to the Fehntjer Backhaus

I really wanted to go to the September party in Hesel today.
Well, we had great weather on the way there, but unfortunately, it started to rain in Hesel.
In Holtland, we waited out the first thunderstorm under a bike shelter.
In Brinkum, we found shelter with a farmer before the next rain.
After that, it

The beautiful weather drew us outdoors. We enjoyed the sunshine during a short walk along the canal in Hamm.
