Today a bit of Emsland, Holland and Grafschaft. Round or rather square around the Dalum-Wietmarscher Moor, the Boutagner Moor Nature Park and the Bargeveen. You have to like the landscape on this route. 😉

Finally sunshine after three gray days. - Today's route takes us from our quarters at the reservoir in Geeste to the moor areas in the German-Dutch border area. A wonderful day and so much beautiful nature, wonderful bike paths and fantastic weather. Looking back, this tour was the highlight of our stay in Emsland for us and that was expressly not only due to the weather ;-)
