Nice tour, but some sections of the route are on country roads without an accompanying cycle path and the cars overtake at 100 km/h

Today I cycled from Bad Pyrmont towards Blomber to visit a couple I know. Thanks for the 🍻 😃
There are some really beautiful cycling paths here. I only cycled along or on main roads a little.
It was another great tour.

The Lügder Emmerauenpark has one more live event: This summer, for the first time, a very special rock concert will take place on the banks of the Emmer. On July 30th, three bands will rock the park stage for one evening.
