(2024-06-15) The last stage of the tour covers 537 kilometers from Leipzig to home, i.e. to Rheinberg. Each post on the last 23 stages contains ten photos, and this one is no exception. Only this time there are photos that didn't make it into the previous posts, mostly for thematic reasons. Wouldn't it be a shame not to share them with you? Voilà:
