October 9, 2021,Hiwweltour Bismarkturm&Westerberg (1+2 von 9)
A great combination tour for biking 🚵.
Part one is more eventful and really fun, part two is a relaxed roll-out 😉


The Hiwweltouren are actually hiking trails, but all encounters are really relaxed and therefore: THANK YOU HIKERS - you also accept a bike on the path 👏👏👏
