Altes Land

Apple trees as far as the eye can see, and one more beautiful than the other, simply seductive.

A few quiet kilometers through orchards, mostly apple trees. The apple trees are currently in full bloom. Some side paths lead to ponds. Strange: the flowers were lavishly beautiful, but I didn't see or hear any bees, bumblebees or other insects during my breaks. It was remarkably quiet when taking pictures.
The red and white lighthouse of Lühe appears in the background towards the Elbe. Good economic route. Closed to general traffic.

Since you get really good mood. and everything smells so nice.

At the exit Mittelkirchen (road to Jork) turn left. Immediately begins a fruit tree plantation (mostly apples), which extends to the Lühedeich (Borstel). My tip: in the last 3 hours before sunset go through this route - or go through. It looks gorgeous and smells good. The Old Country has put on its "apple wedding dress". Here only a high stand is missing, so that one gets an overview from above.

In the autumn die the trees are full of thick red apples 🍎 a real joy to cycle through, here can be explained clearly to the children where the apple comes from

... through endless fruit plantations.

just beautiful during flowering

not all apple trees are also cherry trees with prepared tarpaulins (against blackheaded birds)

When the apple blossoms in early May, the Alte Land is a sea of blossoms.

The old country: almost always a worthwhile tour
in spring the fruit blossom, in summer to autumn the cherry and later the apple harvest.

Apples were already very tasty on our tour with some varieties.

Unbelievably many apples were lucky it was harvest time

Use the beautiful sunny Sunday to experience the beautiful nature in this area up close!
