Drove to Wengern, unfortunately the battery gave up beforehand...

Really nice, very varied tour, with a few climbs. From Wetter there is a direct connection to Dortmund HBF. Info: There is a parking space directly behind Dortmund train station in Treibstrasse for € 3.7 per day

Strong wind 🍃 (of course as always from the front) accompanied our new lord of the castle and me on the tour today.
After breakfast in Herdecke we went via Schwerte to Holzwickede to the Emscher Quelletopf.
From there along the Emscher cycle path to the entrance to the Rheinischer Esel.
Then back to Wengern via Witten.
Beautiful autumn tour …
