In contrast to the Bardowicker windmill it is no longer in operation, but after restoration fully functional. It is a landmark of Artlenburg. The next windmill is in Hittbergen.

View of the Elbe

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

If you drive along the Elbe on this route, you do not see much of it. You drive behind the dike. But there are transitions, as in Avendorf, and then receives a wonderful view over the Elbe.

The lock is an interesting structure. You can easily observe the lock process from the cycle/pedestrian path that runs over the Elbe bridge.

June 9, 2025,Immer an der „waterkant“ 💦🌊🐸🦆, d.h. „stur“ auf dem Deich fahren 🤭

Today we actually just wanted to enjoy the sun for a bit, but then the bikes 🚲 just kept rolling...
Strangely enough—and this is something almost every cyclist knows—the way back seemed much longer... 😢

Start and finish, “Stover Strand” campsite,
From here over the Elbe bridge to Geesthacht, further along the Elbe on easy-to-drive cycle paths, first on the road, then in the forest to Lauenburg.
On the other side, on asphalt cycle paths mostly directly along the Elbe to the starting point.
Tip:
Easy ride with lots of variety.
Mostly views of the …

So please don't do it again...
Many will know this beautiful round trip. The route from Geesthacht via Artlenburg is a must, from Lauenburg via Schnackenbek back to Geesthacht the freestyle....simply fantastic....if you stick to the plan and don't try to drive as close to the water as possible. It should be possible from Schnackenbek, but right behind Lauenburg it …

Without my wife's Pedelec, I wouldn't have enjoyed the tour. First there was the steep ups and downs on the Hohe Ufer, which were pretty tough, and then there was a headwind on the way back. But it was really nice. With luggage, I would definitely take the south bank of the Elbe on this 3rd leg.

In the Lauenburg Forest sometimes very steep and sandy! Better stay on the big forest roads !!!

Great tour for those who like to drive over hill and dale. In other words, all types of paths were there.
