October 16, 2022,Seeblick – Zwischen See und Rur Runde von Ratheim

Nice round for two 🧔👨‍🦱. The first part went through the village which wasn't that nice but the rest of the way was very nice. The Adolfosee is beautiful to look at and the path along the Rur is also beautiful. At the end there was a delicious ice cream 🍨.

Deep in the west, near the Dutch border, we'll take you on a day at the lake in the Heinsberg district. Lake Adolfosee invites you to take a relaxing stroll and picnic. There's plenty to discover right by the lake and along the nearby banks of the Rur River.
