June 27, 2024,1. Raderlebnistag Niederrhein 2024 - Routentipp 100

It was once again a pleasure to explore this beautiful region by bike.
The route around Lake Harik is particularly beautiful, where the restaurants invite you to linger.
This time I didn't choose the route along the Schwalm, but through the cute neighboring towns.

July 17, 2024,Mühlentour Wegberg und an der Schwalm

We did a wonderful mill tour around Wegberg with the two cycling Amazons Karin and Beate, combined with a Schwalm tour. In Merbeck we quickly changed our plans because we liked the Schwalm route so much and wanted to extend the tour along the Schwalm. At the edge of Niederkrüchten we didn't feel like cycling parallel to the main road. …

Very nice tour with a stop for lunch with friendly service in the beer garden of the Dahlheimer Mühle. Everything is available, from asphalt paths to exciting trails. Good to drive by non-professionals. Difficult short paths with a trailer on the bike
