We were there in June... the route is almost impassable due to nettles and weeds... we made it through but it was quite a struggle

Today I was in Kreuzhorst on the old Elbe. Great area Pechau, Randau Kalhlenberge also o especially for 🚴🏻‍♂️. There we have the Klusradweg again fluss-radwege.de/klusdamm-radweg
Then stop off at the kelly inn, or at the bakery in pechau, open on sundays, all with 70th-year charm.
