    Eine sehr schöne abwechslungsreiche Runde. Wenn man Groß Reken hinter sich gebracht hat wurde es richtig schön und ruhig. Diese Runde fahren wir auf jeden Fall nochmal.

    Eine tolle Radtour auf gemischten Untergründen fast immer abseits des Autoverkehrs teilweise durch schöne Waldwege mit sandigen Untergründen vorbei an tollen Bauernhöfen und Feldern. Die Düwelsteine und der artesische Brunnen laden zum Pausieren ein.
