Asphalt Tree-Lined Avenue in Teutoburg Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A nice road without a lot of traffic! From the direction of Hövelhof to Schloss Holte you can drive this segment to Detmolder Strasse, turn right there and a few 100m further east, turn left again onto the old Poststrasse. turn. Most of the asphalt is in good condition, but there are small bumps due to tree roots. Accordingly, you have to drive vigilantly and cannot really pedal. But overall still nicer than driving on the main road.

June 1, 2025,Hövelhofer Frühjahrs RTF - Solo, Wind und Beine brennen 💨

It was just a shame that I started quite late – many were already 20-25 minutes ahead of me. So I rode the first 50 kilometers completely solo, with no other riders anywhere …
