A wonderfully great and shady route, especially with this week's temperatures. Through the Hohe Mark in absolute tranquility. However, places to stop for refreshments are only found around Haltern.
A very beautiful route and definitely recommended..

A beautiful bike tour through the Weiße Venn (White Fens), Silbersee 3 (Silver Lake 3) – called the "Caribbean of the Ruhr Valley" by young people in summer – and the Halterner Dam. The short detour to Dülmen is a must. Highly recommended 👍🏻😁🚴‍♂️
