May 28, 2023,Rundfahrt durchs Heuvelland (niederländische Schweiz)

A short bike tour with the family in bright sunshine in the west of Aachen - with a cozy stop at the bistro Le Soigneur in Klein-Kuttingen and finally at our regular ice cream parlor. In the end, the tour template provided for the route via the three-country point, which we avoided.

I rode this tour today: komoot.com/de-de/tour/2778708121﻿
With a different starting and ending point (Münsterplatz instead of the main train station). And with a few minor changes based on my experience with a similar tour I did a few years ago.
﻿
A truly beautiful tour through the Dutch-Belgian hill country
