Elbe Cycle Path along the Dike

Highlight • Cycleway

A fantastic hiking and cycling path runs along here, amidst beautiful nature. On one side, sheep graze on the dike, and on the opposite side, the Elbe River flows through apple orchards. Highly recommended.

May 16, 2022,Elbumrundung 16.05.22

The great spring weather invited to start with a tour along the Elbe that had been planned for a long time. After crossing the ferry early in the morning from Glückstadt to Wischhafen, we started on the Lower Saxony side of the Elbe and with an easterly wind from the front. Unfortunately, the barrage in Wischhafen can only be passed …

August 15, 2021,Eine sehr schöne Rundtour entlang der Elbe 🚴‍♂️🚴🚴🏻‍♂️🚴

A very nice tour from the Lühe pier with the ferry to Schulau.
Along the Elbe towards Glückstadt.
From there by ferry to Wischhafen.
It is advisable to drive the route in dry weather, as the sheep leave their "interests" there on the way. The Elbe island Krautsand is worth a detour.
Mostly you can drive this route along the …

September 21, 2024,Ganz viel Elbe zwischen Stade, Wedel und Glückstadt 🌊 🐟🚤⛵⏳🐑🌾

Today we went on a really great loop along the Elbe under the dyke. It can be a bit bumpy on the inside of the dyke (water side), but you can see more sailors and big ships. Because of the bluetongue disease, there are a few closures between Kollmar and Glückstadt, but they are easy to get around, and you …

August 20, 2024,Links und Rechts Elbe 😊 Runde von Fähre Wischhafen

Please note highlight 5, otherwise you might end up like us ☺️.
Saw a car in the parking lot, but didn't get over the drawbridge. 🙃That gave us another hour in the wonderful evening sun. 🌞😊
You have to be lucky sometimes. ☺️🥰

May 15, 2023,Radtour auf dem Elberadweg

We started at 7 a.m. at the Lühe ferry terminal and cycled on the left side of the Elbe to Wischhafen. We took the ferry to Glücksstadt and biked back to Wedel. Then again with the ferry over to Lühe. The weather was great.

September 6, 2022,Von Wedel nach Stadersand

This time the "round trip" worked. On one side of the Elbe from Wedel to Glückstadt and on the other side back to Stadersand by bike, then continue by ferry to Wedel. The ferry from Stadersand runs three times a day and costs €28 for two people with a bike. The journey takes about an hour. elblinien.com. The bike paths …
