January 17, 2023,Der "Spieker", Haus Oberfelde und die Kommunistenkurve

Today we followed a round from the book "Tourenatlas Ruhrgebiet". Although we basically didn't use any new paths, the two highlights were new to us. So you always discover something new, even in familiar surroundings.

January 17, 2023,Der "Spieker", Haus Oberfelde und die Kommunistenkurve- Waltroper Runde über Lünen

Today in dry weather, 5 degrees, a tour together with Andreas over small side roads and forest paths.
Beautiful round, which is even more beautiful in the sunshine.

Forest areas (nature reserve) …
