A ride along the EuroVelo route today — 76 km of peaceful countryside, rolling hills, and just enough headwind to make it interesting. 🌬️🌤️

✨ Bremen – A hidden gem
Today we walk through Bremen between the rain showers. A nice city with history and modern design.

🇩🇪 Mission Peenemunde:
cycling the V2 trail 🚴🏻♀️🚴🏻♂️
📏 76 km
⛰️ 400 meters of elevation gain
We started the day with a peaceful walk through the Citadel park in Vechta — a calm and scenic beginning. The weather was dry at first, but along the way we got caught in a few showers.

Days 4 and 5 start with rain. Then alternating sun and clouds. Occasional showers and some drizzle, but mostly dry. We ride on quiet small roads, some unpaved. Along fields, through forests and beautiful towns and villages with monumental buildings.

The day starts with rain. But it soon dries up. The route goes over quiet field roads and forest paths again. Partly paved and unpaved. We cycle through beautiful Munster. And pass several castles, country houses and fortified farms.

Rain is forecast for today. Lots of showers and lots of wind. We start at 10 am and hope to cycle dry for another hour. We have a tailwind. That’s lucky. We cycle a stretch parallel to the border. Through fields and forests. Paved and unpaved.

We are sitting out the rain at home. By leaving a bit later we cycle behind the rain instead of in the middle of it. On the beautiful cycle path over a former railway line we cycle to Groesbeek, Kranenburg and Kleve.

Tomorrow we leave for our bike tour through Northern Germany. 🇩🇪 On our way to Peenemunde. The birthplace of the V2 rocket of the Third Reich. But before that we will of course also visit Bremen, Hamburg and Rostock. After Peenemunde we cycle through Poland to Berlin. That’s the plan.

On to Wemeldingen, but first to Willemstad. A beautiful old fortified town with many monumental buildings. Including the Mauritshuis from 1623 with a small interesting museum. The old fortifications have also been beautifully preserved. Everything is looking great in the spring sun.

A morning walk through the town of Unkel and Erpel, with many half-timbered houses. And lots of blooming wisteria. Along the Rhine and back over the hills. It is a beautiful day with lots of sun.

Another day in Bonn. Today we walk the Beethoven route. Past the church, the station and a beautiful green path to an old museum in a beautiful green park. Then to the Rhine for a last look at the river. The weather is lovely. And what a lovely city Bonn is.

A day in Bonn. The old capital of West Germany. First to the old castle, where the university is now located. The mensa is an ugly tent at the back. What idiot came up with that?
Then along the Rhine to the old government district.
