April 6, 2025,Rundweg Kessenich/ Thorn

Visited Thorn again today. We started in Kessenich and walked through a wonderful nature reserve to Thorn. We had a delicious cappuccino there and then headed back. The way back was a bit more adventurous, as we had to walk through mud after crossing a wooden walkway. Tom still stinks and needs a shower first 🙈🙊🌞🐕☕️🥾🥾🤗

A pleasant flat walk in a green and watery environment. The tranquility of some sections is remarkable. We shortened the route by 3 km.

Back home via Thorn, the white city for a tour of the area.
I knew, polder landscape wet wet wet. At one point, the last part through 30 cm of water 💧💦💦. A delicious hot coffee with pie gave me courage again🤣.
