We really enjoyed this discovery loop: a gentle up and down led us to wide views that reached as far as the Voreifel and Cologne Cathedral. Add to that a great mix of sun and clouds, 20 degrees, and to finish, the relaxed old town of Erkrath with an ice cream stop!
Only the namesake of the tour, Haus

The most beautiful stage at the end! After Limburg, we first visited the BW barracks in Oranienstein Castle, where @John had served. From Diez, the most spectacular part of the trail began with steep slopes and a very narrow valley. In the venerable spa town of Bad Ems, we treated ourselves to a longer

I only got wet once, which is very easy to endure. This stage led past prominent Hessian cities such as Gießen, Wetzlar, and Weilburg. Furthermore, the proportion of paths directly on the river was significantly higher than on the first stage. In addition, everything, including the diversions, was perfectly

Contrary to all the worst weather forecasts, today we didn't encounter a single drop of rain and were thus able to calmly tackle the first stage of the Lahntadweg (a new edition of the tour from 2012). This time we didn't start in Lützel, but in Siegen. The feeder to the source at Lahnhof was about 20

We actually wanted to go to the beach in Dangast today. But since it was low tide in the morning and the road to Dangast was overcrowded at the same time, we spontaneously decided on the mudflat experience at Jade. There was the salt marsh adventure trail, which partly led over wooden planks into the

It was supposed to be a relaxed after-work loop after today's client meeting, and it would have been, if a heavy rain shower with thunderstorms hadn't come up in the middle. After leaving Laatzen behind, a village center with some old buildings awaited in Grasdorf. Immediately after, the Leineauen began

After the tourist escalation in Giethoorn, we took it a bit easier this evening. The old Hanseatic city of Zwolle has a very well-kept town center, which is completely surrounded by a canal. The search for a restaurant turned into a nice evening stroll. Stop at La Cucaracha (great Mexican), parking tip

During today's heat battle, @derolli accompanied me. Together we mastered almost 27 km. Although most of the routes were familiar, the combination was very interesting. After starting at Bochum main station (Bochumer Hbf), we went straight to Westpark and from there over the Parkband West and nice paths
