Small upstream fishing port, after the reclamation of new areas created from land reclamation, since the actual place was then too far away from the water. One of the best restaurants in the area is here.

The outward tour was great but going back against the wind was tough and we reached our limits

Today we transported the e-bikes on the little Frenchman to Bremerhaven to the Imsum car park at the container terminal. From here, in good weather with a tailwind, we went as far as possible along the North Sea to Duhnen and returned to the car in the late afternoon. Here's a little tip.

After around 800 km, our beautiful bike tour to the North Sea is now unfortunately over. But the many experiences and impressions will remain.

I started today in Wremen in brilliant sunshine. Unfortunately, there was a thick blanket of clouds over Cuxhaven, which made it noticeably cooler. I then left the city to the left and went to Ritzebüttel Castle, which I've wanted to visit for a while. Pretty! 😊 Then I went back through the Cuxhaven coastal heath - it's sure to look …

The "Kleiner Preuße" lighthouse in Wremen was the destination of today's tour. With bright sunshine and the typical North Sea breeze, we enjoyed the tour along the Wadden Sea to the fullest.
