Tips from the Community
On the high feast of the two prince-apostles (June 29), the Holy Father, Pope LEO XIV, preached on Peter and "the teaching of Paul, the other great apostle, whom we celebrate today, the tireless herald of the Good News. He too has characteristic symbols: the book and the sword, which are closely linked. The author of the Letter to the Hebrews explains this vividly when he writes: "For the word of God is alive, effective and sharper than any two-edged sword", capable of penetrating "to the division of soul and spirit" and discerning "the thoughts and intentions of the heart". This is precisely what God accomplished in the heart of young Saul: He won him over for Himself, first bringing him to convert to the Gospel and adopt a new name, later to proclaim it throughout the world, and finally to bear witness to it, like Peter, in this very city [Rome] – even unto the giving of his life. The Apostle of the Nations allowed himself to be transformed by the power of the word of God, which snatched him from violence to lead him on the path of love."

A hike around the Bad Bederkesa lake is absolutely recommendable and interesting at the same time. A restaurant invites you to linger, as does an observation tower and some park benches. A visit is recommendable and interesting at the same time.

Here at the Bederkesa Meadow Dam, it looks like Scotland or Ireland—a typical meadow. It's lovely to drive along here and reminisce...

The detour is worth it for a break. If you take one here, you'll desperately need it. The forest path before it is already "awful." And the best part: if you continue cycling along the canal towards the Geeste, it unfortunately doesn't get any better in many very sandy spots. This is written by a touring cyclist, not a mountain biker.
