This circuit is ok for cycling. Krickenbecker Castle not visible. Very many mosquitoes, definitely use Autan.

Today we took advantage of the beautiful weather and did a nice round at the Netteseen. We actually know the area quite well, but there is always something new to discover. The path to Haus Waldesruh is open again.
