The interesting moor and heath landscape of the High Fens is original, untouched and romantic: in spring with light pink spots of cranberry and rosemary heather, in early summer with white cotton grass flakes, in late summer and autumn with purple heather, after the first frost with orange moor grass…

Absolutely recommendable tour. Almost exclusively on paved bike and service paths. Varied landscape and some highlights. Unfortunately, Ternell is currently closed, but you could also sit by the Weser reservoir. It also fit in perfectly that today was potato fritter day in Roetgen.😁

The bike tour starts from the parking lot at the Wanderstation on Mühlenstrasse in Roetgen. If there is no space there, you will find plenty of parking a little further along the Mühlenstrasse-Petersgenfeld. There you can also simply leave the bicycle carrier on the car, the parking spaces at the hiking station are too short for that...

Today, in the rain, I went on a lovely bike ride. From Roetgen to Lammersdorf, through the Paustenbacher Venn, the Imgenbroicher Venn, the Brackvenn, and along the Getzbach stream to the Weser Dam. Along the way, I stopped off at the wonderful Ternell Forester's House. A dream come true!!!
There's not much water in the dam.

March 1, 2026,OVELO 02- Du Barrage de la Vesdre vers le Ravel Vennbahn

A pleasant warm-up ride on this beautiful, almost spring-like day.

The sun is shining brightly, but it's cool and the wind is occasionally biting.

We'll choose Ovelo loop no. 2.

As a reminder, the ten Ovelo loops use the numbered junctions.

They are available on the Ostbelgien.be website.

It was a nice 🚴 tour of about 41 km, only forest, no cars 👍, could only save part of it because Vodafone had a problem which others 🚴 also confirmed 🤷
