The Paterskerk/Beguinage Church in Tienen is more than a historical monument; it is a vibrant part of the community that embodies the rich history, cultural traditions and unyielding character of the city of Tienen.

The story

Before heading to the Airbnb, I stopped at De Paterskerk, also known as the Begijnhofkerk. This historic monument in Tienen tells a story of evolution and rebirth.

Mönchengladbach 🇩🇪

Mönchengladbach is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located west of the Rhine, halfway between Düsseldorf and the Dutch border.

The story

Today wasn’t really a photo trip but rather a test run of my new electric scooter, which will make my future trips through big cities even more efficient! The hilly Mönchengladbach, with its cobblestone streets, was perfect for a test ride. The final result: starting with an almost fully charged battery and ending with 20% remaining, I covered nearly 20 kilometers / 13 miles. A decent score!
