September 12, 2021,MTB-Tour durch Moosheide und Furlbachtal 🌤️

Today we went spontaneously with the bikes towards Hövelhof. From there we drove over great forest paths and trails through the NSG Moosheide, where everything is blooming beautifully at the moment 🤩 We continued through the Furlbachtal.
All in all, a great tour with many trails and, thanks to the few vertical meters, also compatible with organic and e-bikes 😉 …

After the altitude meters from the weekend, the regulars' table should be a bit more moderate today 😅
Since Julian is still on vacation, we girls drove from Hövelhof in the direction of Moosheide and Furlbachtal, chattering happily.
Fantastic, flowing trails, root passages, heathland, forest and fields - everything an MTB heart desires 🤩
And now 🍻

Let's continue south. So I picked out a tour on Komoot and pushed it into the program. Was very nice, except for a short anger at a farm, because we had used a path with two paddocks secured by large steel gates.

Pure scenic idyll, a bit demanding and thrill. Because of the sand probably best suited for the wet season
