Oste Barrier at the Mouth of the Oste River

Highlight • Bridge

You cannot cross the Oste by bike closer to the Elbe. You should definitely pay attention to the opening times, otherwise the detour is not negligible.

Oste Barrage

Highlight • Monument

The east barrier is not always open, in the winter season (and in the corona crisis) it is e.g. closed on weekends. Check beforehand at wsa–cuxhaven.de whether it is passable.

Wiebkes Klönstuv, the ultimate corner shop in Neuhaus (Oste), the town that somehow seems to have fallen out of time.
Delicious coffee and cake. In addition, all the news in town are discussed here 😉

Elbe Ferry Glückstadt–Wischhafen

Highlight • Structure

The ferry connection has existed since 1919. The journey time is approximately 25 minutes.
Unfortunately, it is planned to build a motorway tunnel, so that bicycle traffic might have to look for another way, would be a shame.
