View of Wilhelmsturm Dillenburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are not so many good places to see the Wilhelmsturm from a distance. This point, however, makes the tower shine in full size and is extremely easy to reach.

September 24, 2023,Breitscheid-LA-Haiger-Dilleburch…

Maybe the last time through the tunnel this year.
Then try to follow the official bike paths. Partly good, but also partly a disaster 🤦‍♂️
The diversion in Haiger is very “special” 😂😂😂

It was a very relaxed introductory round, unfortunately there weren't many participants... they could have advertised it a bit more😏... but OK...🤷🏼‍♀️ in the end everyone rides as they like... maybe a few more cyclists will join in🤔

To cancel or not to cancel, that was the question. I decided not to cancel and drove to the meeting point in Herborn for the Tuesday tour in light drizzle.
