April 30, 2026,Elbe-Seitenkanal – Moorbahn Runde von Gifhorn

In the Gifhorn area, there are many opportunities for bike tours. Like in Holland, you can cycle from hub to hub. Today we visited the Bernsteinsee and the Moorbahn, and also cycled a stretch along the Elbe-Seitenkanal.
We wish everyone a nice, long May 1st weekend 🧑‍🤝‍🧑
