August 26, 2025,2025-08_Nettershein Tag 3 (Zur Ahrquelle in Blankenheim)

A seven-day cycling holiday in Nettersheim/Eifel with the ADFC Langenfeld/Monheim. Ute and Jürgen skillfully led the seven other participants on beautiful and at times challenging trails through a diverse landscape. And all in mostly perfect weather.
After a long coffee, cake, and ice cream break in Blankenheim, we visited the memorial for the victims of the July 2021 flood.
