Kul-Tour

Because of the rain forecast, only a short tour in the morning, a good decision

The second day of our neighborhood tour to Meppen. Today we visited the Berentzen distillery in Haselünne. The tour was based on the Meppener Sternfahrt No.1, Tim's Kul Tour route, supplemented by a loop into the nature reserve with a lookout tower. Just a nice tour.

Did the tour Haselünne - Meppen - Haselünne again today. But this time we were better prepared and drove off despite the rain. Have not regretted it. It is definitely worth it.

For the first time in Emsland and not just passed by! The first impression: ideal area for cycling, a lot of cycle paths that are very well signposted and - despite all the differences - very easy to ride. My tip: free maps for hiking and cycling at the Meppen tourist office and the Emsland -APP with many tours.

https://youtu.be/JmZhH3I0R_U (for moving images watch the video on YouTube) A bike tour that starts in the nice city of Meppen (an hour from Enschede). Very soon you will reach the point where the Ems and the Haase (that is, a different river and not a rabbit as Google translations indicates) meet. This is a beautiful point in the route with a beautiful windmill. After this you often cycle on quiet country roads, but also along a somewhat busier road towards Haselünne. This is a nice place with plenty of restaurants to look around. Towns along the way Helte, Lehrte (and that is actually true) Bückelte and Hamm. After this you go via Lahr to Bokeloh. Then you think Boekelo again no, this is really different. When you cross the river you immediately see the beautiful church and the village school. Worth getting off and seeing. After this we cycled to Meppen with the beautiful town hall and some churches. The Ferris wheel is in honor of the Christmas market they are building. You better start on time. Starting point: P parking lot at the Schulendamm in Meppen (free, you enter Meppen and on the left is this p. After this, go back to the Schulendamm (cross the road) and turn left towards the bridge where junction 94 is waiting for you)

Here and there you can improve the route so that you don't have to push through powder sand. 🤠 or directly on the maize field with 30cm space. But otherwise very, very nice to drive ....

Hey🙋‍♂️We recently saw our tour on @Melanie and followed it today. Thanks @Melanie for the inspiration, a great tour👍 A great tour through a lot of forest, with beautiful autumn colors to see, along the Hase River. From Meppen, we rode directly along the Hase River to Bokeloh to St. Vitus Church, then continued via Hofe, Groß Dörgen, and Lahre to Haselünne. From there, we went to Bückelte and the chapel there, a real eye-catcher. We rode back to Meppen via Lehrte and Helte.

A classic: From Meppen through idyllic countryside, often along the Hase River, to Haselünne, and back to Meppen via Bückelte with its ancient chapel, Lehrte, and Helte. Simply a stunningly beautiful tour! For the route planning, I copied the tour from https://www.komoot.com/de-de/user/emslandtourismus.
