August 8, 2024,Fahrradtour ...24/51... Schnackendorf, Elbdeichradweg

Cycled through no man's land and almost deserted villages to Schnackendorf, past the border strip and on the Elbe dyke cycle path. On the way there were home-baked treats in a café on the dyke...on the way back we went through mini villages again and around the Arendsee
