After more than 50 years, a short tour of memories through Wilhelmshaven and the Naval Museum.
The destroyer Mölders was commissioned during my active service. Today it is a museum.
The tour mostly follows the waterfront on the outward journey. The return journey takes you through Wilhelmshaven's many parks.

The beautiful autumn weather invited us to go on another bike ride. This time our destination was Evenburg Castle in the south of Leer. The castle, built in the style of Dutch classicism, is located in a park with ancient trees.
The beautiful autumn weather creates special lighting conditions for photography

In cool cycling weather (with or without gloves?) we drove to Papenburg to the von Velen complex.
There they show impressively how Papenburg was created as a moorland settlement under Dietrich von Velen (from Velen in Münsterland).
The program with a boat tour through the canals was very impressive.

A quick evening ride from the parking spot to Leer.
The route over the Leda was the big problem. Someone came towards us on the railway bridge. Then it was impossible. A little jolting... the picture shows how narrow the path is.
On the way back we wanted to cross the Leda barrier, closed for renovation

A tour appropriate for the season with rain before, after and of course in the middle of it. Up the Weser with interesting villages including the Waldensians (Gewissenruh). Lonely ferries that suddenly wake up when passengers appear. In between there were also significant GPS problems.
Then the rain

A tour in the most beautiful cycling weather.
Our first stop was the Waldschlösschen. An abandoned property built in 1850 as a brewery.
We then visited the two viewing platforms in the Dingdener/Büngerner Heide.
After refreshing ourselves with an excellent cake in the Café Gerwershof, we continued on

A relaxed, varied tour along the Hunte and Weser.
You have to have good parking space neighbors so that you know that the bridge over the Hunte barrier only opens every hour.
In Berne we changed sides of the Weser. Behind the Valentin bunker it gets a bit bleak.
It was only on the river island of Harriersand

You can tell that we live in Westmünsterland, the dream land for cyclists. Here around Brunsbüttel, the cycling infrastructure is more bad than good.
On or in front of the dyke it's OK, otherwise there are cycle paths on the main roads. There the trucks whiz past you at top speed at a distance of one

We didn't see any books.
The weather was great for cycling and we found a nice route from the parking spot in Meddo on the Slinge. The bike paths there are really narrow. Oncoming traffic has to get off. In Bredevoort we sat on the market square again and had a snack and coffee with apple pastry. The

When the polders were built in the 1930s, nobody thought about cyclists.
This is why the roads here go straight for miles with a strong headwind. There are no alternatives that are a little more sheltered.
Today we planned to visit Pantropica in Luttelgeest and took a very varied route via Emmeloord and

The weather is not on our side this year.
Long tours are not possible because of the rain. So use the rain-free time for the most important things. Shopping and eating delicious fresh fish.

The Northeast Polder, where we are standing, is not that old. At the end of the 1930s, our destination, the island of Schokland, became part of the polder. Our Dutch neighbors can make an event out of it. After the obligatory *Koffie met Appleback*, we took a walk around the Ketelsmeer.

You can walk to Kevelaer, of course only from Rhede and Bocholt. From Leuker Meer it is a lovely bike ride through the Maas dunes. As soon as you cross the border it gets boring. We were lucky to catch a long break in the rain again.

Finally a day without rain. From Leuker Meer we drove to Arcen, on the other side and back on the Leuker Meer side. Not a drop on the tour. In Arcen a nice Dutchman recommended the rose village of Lottum to us. On the way home we bought some great roses in the rose garden.
Full of new impressions we returned with a tailwind.

After more than a week on the road, we're now on our first bike ride. It's not even 20 kilometers, but it's a lot of elevation gain. The whole experience is crowned by the beautiful view of the Rhine Falls.
