Highlight • Natural

A very good bike path. Leisurely or fast, the cycle path here belongs firmly in a tour. There are small rest areas along the route.

View of the Datteln-Hamm Canal at the Maximilianschule

Highlight • River

The Datteln-Hamm Canal in Hamm is very nice to cycle and leads from a short distance from the Uentrop power plant to Datteln. It is around 50 km long and is also in the immediate vicinity of the train station.

Finally the weekend - finally a little more time to ride the bike than just "short walks with the dog". It couldn't be nicer at this time of year - maybe even a little too nice? I'm enjoying it anyway.

My bottom just needs a little time to get used to it🫣 😂

It's always impressive when a large bird like a stork lands almost right next to you in an open area, flying right over your head. Yesterday afternoon was stork time around Heesen Castle. Several waterfowl had settled on the adjacent meadows to feed. Sometimes, geese and storks even squabble if they get too close.

Our travel companion was craving ice cream, and since she had stitches removed from her foot today, an ice cream treat was a must. From ice cream, we went to Werries Castle, where we had coffee and plum cake as a starter.

The temperatures were still warm enough for sitting outside today; who knows when that will be possible again.

Beautiful round trip from Ahlen to Hamm. Great cycle paths. The Lippe ferry Lupia should be used with at least 2 people (max. 6); the crossing is not that easy to operate
