    Die Tour ist sehr schön auch toll zu fahren. Besonders schön ist der Wechsel aus dem Münsterland an den Rhein bei Rees. Rees ist immer eine Reise wert. Der einzige negative Punkt ist das der Weg teilweise über landwirtschaftliche Betriebe führt. Zum einen möchten die Eigentümer das nicht und zum anderen ist das bei dem heutigen Maschineneinsatz auch viel zu gefährlich. Es gibt auch sehr gutes Alternative Strecken. Ich kann die Eigentümer sehr gut verstehen den an den Wochenenden ist da immer ein sehr starker Betrieb.
