Always good for a little break. The cake is homemade. Even though they weren't open yet, the friendly owner didn't turn us away. 😊 There was a delicious raspberry cake and coffee. ☕️

The Buchholzstraße has little traffic (but if there is traffic, then it's a race track) and top-quality asphalt. It's a great road to the village of Steinbeck. In the direction of Ibbenbüren, the Buchholzstraße climbs slightly but steadily.
