7.6 km in the drizzle (yeah, GPS acting up again ☹️🤬)

Having weathered countless mud and muck tours, I've pretty much perfected my water gear 🤽‍♀️ over time. So, with a warm heart and dry ears, I trudge through Lüdinghausen 🚶 and feel quite content.

November 14, 2023,Lüdinghausen muss gehen

I am very slowly recovering from 🤬💩 Covid. Still not particularly resilient, so the only thing that helps is to get out and try out what works. And Lüdinghausen really always works.
There are still a few autumn leaves 🍁🍂 to admire, every now and then something still blooms and the mushrooms 🍄 are looking great.

June 29, 2026,🇩🇪 Lüdinghausen | 🏰 Burg Vischering, Burg Lüdinghausen & Een Spannend Stapstenenpad 🫣

This morning I cycled to the atmospheric Lüdinghausen, a town in the German Münsterland known for its three castles. Two of them were on my route today: Burg Vischering and Lüdinghausen Castle. The third castle, Kakesbeck, and the village of Seppenrade, I'll gladly save for a next hike.
