View of the Schafstedt High Bridge over the Kiel Canal

Highlight • Viewpoint

Driving here on the canal near Schafstedt is a really beautiful, impressive route on the NOK. Then to have a view of the high bridge in the nicest weather, to be amazed to admire the construction, is a real experience.

For details on the current situation, see nok-route.de

Should I ride or not ride... it should stay dry - and it stayed dry 😅
There are actually still slugs 🤪
There are one or two less now.

We took advantage of the good weather today and drove from Hochdonn along the Kiel Canal to Brunsbüttel. Unfortunately, a section of the canal from the Burger Ferry was closed on both sides due to construction work, so that we would have to accept diversions on the round trip. But it didn't hurt, it was a wonderful day, used the …
