May 12, 2025,Ruhrtour Meschede -Bigge und zurück.

Unfortunately, Bigge is very busy and noisy on the main road.

According to locals, there is no quiet town center with restaurants.

According to residents, Meschede has been struggling for years to get a decent public restroom.

Because the existing one is too big to fix.

Unfortunately, you have to drive along federal highways and main roads for several stretches.

Accompanied by dark clouds the whole way, we still came home dry. But just 5 minutes here, it started to rain. 😉
