Due to lots of mosquitoes and campgrounds full of noisy campers we finally decide not to camp at one of the official campgrounds along the river. Instead we find a nice and quiet place in the woods near Porta Westfalica. The 2 km long climb to the top of Wittekindsberg is a nice end of our trip. For 35 DM you're able to catch a train throughout whole Germany during the whole weekend. For 6 DM we take our bikes with us.
Most trains have special wagons for bicycles.
From Bad Oeynhausen we take a train to Rheine and from Rheine to Meppen, near the Dutch border. From there it's a short ride to Emmen. Here our ways separate, Yvonne catches another train to Heerenveen and I've to cycle only a short ride to my mother's place near Emmen, where I end this 6 day trip after 638 km.
