Estebrügge Swing Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A picturesque swing bridge in Estebrügge. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it in action. Luckily, I didn't have to wait. :-) The narrow bridge doesn't allow two-way traffic. It's lined with beautiful, old, colorful half-timbered houses.

Shortly before the thermometer reached the 30° mark again, I was home from my little bike tour. This time I drove to the Elbe again. It then went back via Moorende, Hove and Estebrügge.

Today's tour took me back to Cranz on the Elbe, where I wanted to photograph the Sietas shipyard.
I have not been able to discover any changes or even a dismantling at the shipyard, which has been insolvent since July 2021.

Soak up the sun and always keep an eye out for the attractions along the bike route... that's how the thought came to me after the tour! Before it was just a nice pastime under a blue sky :)
