Planned well in advance, and the weather cooperated.

A family bike tour around Hünxe.
We took a mountain bike, a gravel bike, an e-bike, and two regular touring bikes.

The tour was easy for everyone. It mostly ran along quiet back roads, with hardly any gravel paths, and a single trail.

We stopped four times along the way.
