Correct altitude difference = 480 meters

Today I didn't manage to make a real circuit.
The return route can certainly still be fine-tuned.


The Borchen bike club and the sports club are also represented on the club tree.

Today no single pictures are possible again.

Today it was just the two of us. My fellow passenger turned out to be a great tour guide 👍.

Today there were only two of us. Old and new paths made for a well-rounded tour.

Today was a community tour to the 'Holy Soul'.

Magnificent views were offered from the heights.
