A cool weather tour to entice spring.
We cycled along a predetermined tour with nice stops at Haus Rüschhaus, Haus Vögeding and Hülshoff Castle. However, the bike paths weren't that nice, as they often went directly along the main roads.
Next time I'll plan again myself.
A nice tour to get back in cycling condition. 😊
