Description

Today’s ride took me to Bad Salzuflen, a spa town known for its therapeutic baths and lush greenery. The historic old town, with its half-timbered houses, exuded a tranquil atmosphere. Exploring the Gradierwerk, a salt-evaporation tower, I felt rejuvenated by the surrounding nature. Additional Information: Bad Salzuflen is famous for its "Kurpark," a stunning parkland that hosts concerts and events. The picturesque landscapes and relaxing ambience make it a perfect spot to unwind. I took the train from Hameln to Löhne, cycled from there to Bad Salzuflen (see next day).
