July 17, 2023,🤗Kleine Ruhr Tour bei Herdecke 🌞

Today not around the Hengsteysee but in the other direction along the Ruhr 😉 The entire route is asphalt-heavy and loud in the first part through the motorway that runs parallel to the Ruhr. You have to be able to do that or you use good headphones and enjoy the view with music 🤣 Like I did 😉
