Trail Reviews

Detlef Magde
April 10, 2025, Auf den Spuren der Bronzezeit 🪶🌿🌳🥾🥾😊

We started at the watermill in Uelsen and took a detour to the Netherlands. That was just part of the circular route. 😊🥾🥾 The weather was good, not too warm. Perfect for the tour.🌞 It was another lovely family hike with my son and sister. 🌳🌿🪶👍🌞🥾🥾🙋🏻‍♂️
