March 30, 2024,Nordhümmling-Runde 🌳🍃☁️💨🚲 Küstenkanal - Esterwegen - Hilkenbrook - Breddenberg - Surwolder See
Another day without sun, but dry and quite mild: The tour leads along the coastal canal to Esterwegen, from there further along Lake Erika to Hilkenbrook. Hilkenbrook is a very young village that only came into being in the 1930s, but has a striking, sprawling village square designed in the style of an Angers as the center of the village.
