The new Blue Bridge is finally finished. It is just as beautiful as the old one, but this time it should last longer.

Lake and Forest Path in Naturpark Hohe Mark - Westmünsterland

Highlight • Trail

That's correct. But it should also be dry.
If it has rained for a few days, it is no longer nice.

... a worthwhile destination, cycling around the lake is also recommended. Especially the north side (one side of the forest, the other with a view of the lake) invites you to linger with numerous benches ... The south side is always quite busy on weekends. . .

A very nice tour, which is somewhat slowed down by numerous cyclists and walkers at the beginning and towards the end of the weekend, but is really fun in the middle

Today the new e-bike Cube Kathmandu was seriously executed for the first time. The owner was very satisfied 👍😉. I hope there will be many more tours, also with more kilometers.
To all descendants: in Haussythen the bridge over the Heubach was demolished and experience has shown that reconstruction will take a long time. Therefore, a detour of about 1.5 …

Very nice tour in any season. In summer the trees provide a lot of shade. In autumn it certainly looks great with the colorful autumn leaves. Many places to stop. Is highly recommended

Today I'm starting earlier because the temperatures will climb to 27 degrees. This tour goes around Haltern am See and offers beautiful views of the reservoir and the surrounding nature. Everywhere you read "Haltern am See is good for you" and somehow it's true. The lake radiates a real sense of calm. You cycle along the lake, through forests and …
