하델너와 벨루머 아우센다이히 최고의 사이클링 경로

Take a deep breath, calm down and enjoy the view 😉

🚲 The official starting point of the Elbe Cycle Route is located in Cuxhaven at one of the most symbolic places on the German coast: the Kugelbake.

⚓ 1. Alte Liebe (The Maritime Heart) This is the most famous viewpoint in Cuxhaven. The former bulwark now serves as a two-story viewing platform. 🗼 2. Kugelbake (The Landmark) Where the Elbe River ends and the North Sea begins, you'll find a fantastic panoramic view. Experience: Because ships have to navigate a bend here to enter the Elbe estuary, the Kugelbake offers particularly great photo opportunities. It's especially atmospheric here in the early morning hours at sunrise.

🚢 In Cuxhaven and the immediate surroundings, you have the unique opportunity to observe huge container ships up close. Since the Elbe shipping channel runs directly along the coast here, these behemoths pass by within arm's reach on their way to Hamburg or the Kiel Canal.

🚢 Tip for "ship watching": Distance to the fairway: In this area, the large ships come particularly close to the coast before setting course for the Port of Hamburg or the open North Sea.

🚴‍♂️ Along the Elbe Cycle Path Among the sheep: On the section between Altenbruch and Otterndorf, the cycle path often runs directly behind or on top of the dike. Here you will find benches at regular intervals at the dike crossings or near the sheep pens.

📍 The starting point: The Kugelbake In Cuxhaven-Döse, the wooden Kugelbake navigational beacon marks the official start and end point of the Elbe Cycle Route. It is the northernmost point of Lower Saxony and symbolically separates the Elbe River from the open North Sea. From here, you have an unparalleled view of this major shipping lane.

🚲 The Elbe Cycle Route reaches its spectacular finale (or beginning) in the region around Cuxhaven, where the river finally flows into the North Sea. This section is characterized by salty sea air, huge ships on the horizon, and expansive dike landscapes.
