View of Schloss Burg

Highlight • Viewpoint

April 21, 2025,Klingenpfad ( Rund um Solingen) mit einm guten Freund..

Today I went on the beautiful tour around Solingen (Klingenpfad) with a good friend.

Anyone who's ridden the route knows how challenging it is.
Some of the trails were right at my limit 😂

It was definitely a lot of fun cycling in this beautiful area.
