Today on the heap 🥾🥾.
It went up in no time with some shortcuts 🙃... Unfortunately there wasn't much time to enjoy because the 🌧️🌧️ came and didn't avoid the heap. So stand and wait. Then continued down. Was worth it despite the rain. 👍👌

Hiking stop on the way to Duisburg. Between km 4.0 and 4.8 we accidentally got onto a mountain bike route - you don't necessarily have to imitate it ...
