September 7, 2025,Restaurant Kreta nach Gevelsberger Wald

I chose this tour today to visit a friend who owns a restaurant near the start/finish line. So, at 9:15 this morning, I parked my car in front of the restaurant and added two 1.5km to get to Gevelsberg Forest. Now I'm sitting on Kreta's terrace and about to enjoy the grilled platter.
