March 6, 2025,Kromme Rijn jaagpad – Hindersteyn rondtocht vanuit Cothen

On the advice of a colleague, we went to Cothen. A beautiful route with mostly unpaved roads. What peace. There was also a stretch along a busy road, but that is almost inevitable in our country. The weather did the rest. The sun was shining brightly. Flowers were shooting out of the ground everywhere. Wonderful.
