Schäfer's Bruchbach Beef Farm

Highlight • Structure

Best meat from naturally kept animals. Everything in the yard from birth to formwork. Long queues when meat is sold. But it's worth it.

Yeah! Just go to Plettenberg to the market, get some bread. My first ride for city cycling, where a car ride was actually replaced. 😅
Unfortunately, the next trip "Er 71" will probably lead to the workshop again... 💶🔥😧

Today's tour with the 🚲 began at Sundhelle/Plettenberg, passing the Bruch in Holthausen, through the Else Valley to the museum railway in Hüinghausen. It continued past the airport via Elsen to Herscheid. After the Weber hunting lodge in Reblin, the route continued via Stucken, Daun, and Kiesbert to the Oestertalsperre. Then Kückelheim and Oesterau returned to the starting point.
