April 16, 2025,2025 - Deutschland - Gravelbiketour - Erftradweg - Von Bergheim nach Neuss zur Mündung in den Rhein

Unfortunately, today was very rainy. Of the predicted 10 liters per square meter, we were able to enjoy about 7 liters 🤣
The Erft Cycle Path isn't as well signposted in this section as it was yesterday. You can find your way with a map or navigation system, but without it, it might be difficult in places.
