I have this one dream: to cycle the Elbe Cycle Path once. Ideally, from source to mouth ❤️
Today, however, I cycled from Brunsbüttel to the Stör Barrage. It was sooooo beautiful 🤩👌
Unfortunately, the app sent me past the Brunsbüttel nuclear power plant. The first gate was open, but I still felt a little uneasy. And then I had …

This morning the sun was already shining on us, it really does pay off to always eat our plates clean. We set off again from the old port of Brunsbüttel towards the ferry and crossed the NOK with it to get to Brunsbüttelkoog. Our first stop took us to Mole One with the historic lighthouse, which is also the headquarters …

May 1, 2024,Von Glückstadt nach Brunsbüttel und zurück

The paved Aussendeich track between Glückstadt and Brokdorf is not in good condition (wider tires and less pressure are advisable... Or just take the road!). From Brokdorf to Brunsbüttel the path along the Elbe is paved and in mostly good condition.

A great time, which unfortunately will be the last time it takes place. A lot of money was certainly raised for cancer support.

After a good 2-week break, including a vacation with the motorbike in France, we finally started cycling again today. The rain stayed up and the sun showed up from time to time.
It was high tide, so I was able to drive close to the water's edge. In St. Margarethen there was a coffee with Franzbrötchen.
Now the next thing …

June 8, 2023,Entlang der Elbe zur Kanalschleuse Brunsbüttel. 🐑🚢🌞⚓

A wonderful bike tour along the Elbe starting and finishing at the Glückstadt ferry. Relaxed driving on a wide bike path. Little to no traffic except Schaffe 🐑🐏😉 and many ships 🚢⛴️🛳️ on the Elbe. Mostly asphalt some paved. The plaster has one or the other damage but nothing wild no problem. Komoot has once again drawn a long straight …
