Between the two forest areas there is a beautiful distant view over the grain fields. If you are not used to the vastness of the field landscapes, this spatial dimension is impressive and, above all, beautiful.

The round was okay but there is a nicer round in the area, especially in April when the bluebells are in bloom

Today I'm in Hückelhoven. There is a Park & Ride car park at the train station and I started from there.
Right at the beginning I found it funny that the narrow tunnel underpass has its own pedestrian traffic light and when it is green all cars have to wait and have red.

Always a great tour at this time of year with sooo much rapeseed. The rapeseed is almost more impressive than the bluebells, the blue flowers🥰

The blue forest near Hückelhoven

Mild and moist - that's how the wild Atlantic bluebell loves it! There is a single large occurrence and a few small ones in western Germany, otherwise it thrives in England, northwestern France and western Belgium.
