Today's tour attracted us due to the ☀️ mega weather to Wülmersen to Café Mehlschwalbe, on the way from Uslar via Verna to Lippoldsberg down the Weser right bank via BK, another detour to Krukenburg, then the Diemelradweg to Wülmersen and back through the Holzapetal towards Gottsbüren, before Gieselwerder visited the uphill stream 🏞️.😎

A dream route with fantastic scenery and a wealth of sights to see. The 55km and 700m of elevation are a breeze on an e-bike. The two great cafés "Mehlschwalbe" in Wülmersen and "Ambiente" in Bodenfelde are real treats for the palate. A tour with a high risk of being repeated.
