Our tour today took us through three federal states: Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and Hamburg.
Mornings started in the Altes Land region in Lower Saxony and, on a now familiar route, directly along the Elbe to the Lühe ferry terminal, where we took the ferry to Wedel-Schulau in Schleswig-Holstein

Today our first destination was the town of Dollern, which we reached via a quiet and beautiful side route through the Siebenhöfener Feld. In Dollern, we then boarded the inspiration for today's tour, the Steinroute.

For the 4th day of our bike tour, we had planned a visit to the Port of Hamburg and the Miniatur Wunderland.
The bikes stayed put and we drove to Stade, from there we continued by train to Hamburg, directly to the Landungsbrücken. Here you can take a small, but very nice and inexpensive harbor tour with

Today we rode the second part of the Obstroute, the west loop via Stade. Since this route is too short for a day tour, we extended it with a section of the Mühlentour, following the motto "The journey is the destination".
First, we rode back along the Elbe dyke, with the Elbe in view, until Grünendeich

The probably best-known cycling tour in Altes Land is the Obstroute (Fruit Route), which is usually ridden in two parts, the East and West loops.
The eastern part of the Obstroute, which leads via Buxtehude, transforms from a sea of blossoms in spring to a rich fruit basket in summer and autumn through

The "Bockerl" – the name given to the small steam tram between Prien train station and the Prien/Stock harbor – has been puffing and whistling its way through the countryside for decades. Emperors, kings, and even Empress "Sisi" of Austria were captivated by its nostalgic charm.
In the morning, we cycled

Right next to the steamer pier on Herreninsel is the former Augustinian monastery, also known as the "Old Palace." It is one of the oldest monasteries in Bavaria and was dissolved in 1803. Today, it houses several museums. Next to it stands the Herrenchiemsee Palace Inn.
Herreninsel is considered enchanting

Lake Chiemsee is picturesquely situated at the foot of the Chiemgau Alps and, as Bavaria's largest lake, is often affectionately called the "Bavarian Sea."
The Chiemsee Cycle Path mostly runs close to the shore and offers impressive views of the Alps – especially the Kampenwand. The route leads through

After arriving in Eggstätt, we first went on a short exploratory tour of the surrounding area. Experience has shown that the roads and narrow shore paths around Lake Chiemsee are very busy on Sundays. Therefore, with the exception of Gstadt, we took quieter side roads.
Since we had spent the entire morning

Today we cycled north along the Elberadweg and reached the town of Bützfleth after about 12 kilometers. Here we joined the almost 40-kilometer-long circular cycle route „Elbinselroute“, the inspiration for today's tour.
Shortly afterwards, we came to the listed artillery fortress Grauerort, which was
