A very beautiful stretch along the Elbe. Passing sheep along the path and on the trail, the route continues along the Elbe riverbank, along the dike, through gates and gates. Along the way, you always have a view of the ships coming and going.

Not exactly suitable for e-bike riders... bikes practically have to be carried over. The gate is locked, even though it's signposted as a bike path!!!
Unfriendly farmer 😞
