Ilmenau-Luhe Lowlands Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

On my tours to Hoopte I always stopped on this bridge, and enjoyed the elevated view. Especially this view over the Ilmenau is wonderful. From this point you can look far into the country.

July 17, 2022,Von Geesthacht nach Winsen (Luhe)

Today a nice tour from Geesthacht to Winsen (Luhe).
A very nice route, along the Elbe, on and on the dike.
Many places to stop for refreshments, nice cyclists on the route and pleasant temperatures.

April 28, 2022,Geesthacht / Elbe-Radweg, Winsen (Luhe) und entlang der Ilmenau

From the starting point of the car park at the Geesthacht Elbbrücke and lock, a nice round through the Elbmarsch and Nordheide.

Good cycle paths, with everything from paved to meadow paths. Attention -> between km 38 and 39 the meadow path becomes an adventure path 😉
