After a lovely evening and a hearty breakfast, we tackle the final kilometers. With headwinds, rain, and one last tubeless mishap, we reach Neuenwalde. Luckily, the weather clears up, perfect for loading our gear into the car dry for our departure. Munich, here we come 😊

Firstly, things turn out differently... secondly, not as expected. Or Germany and its railways. It's quite exciting when the train driver tries to describe things with gallows humor: "switch broken," "swap to electric locomotive," "reversing isn't possible right now either," "air conditioning disruption

Our smallest and last shelter on the tour was just big enough for the three of us. With a towel curtain across the entrance, the warmth stayed in better than we expected, and the mosquitoes stayed out. A short, strenuous bike ride at an ungodly early hour, and then we took the train in stages to Hamburg

After a short break at the beach, we start the morning feeling rather sleepy. We immediately patch two holes, but thanks to the recovery phase, we're still able to move along the bike path at a great pace. The route off the main route is highly recommended for making fast progress, yet it's still incredibly

Filled with smoke from our neighbor's campfire in the shelter, we quickly pack up the tent and escape onto our bikes. After getting lost, we struggle 10 km along a narrow path (with a trailer in the meadow) and reach our somewhat dated and not-so-well-maintained holiday cabin under gray clouds and amidst

A cloudy and somewhat slow/tiring start with long, narrow straight stretches along dikes. However, it was nice for contemplating and watching the birds in the expansive pools. After an unnecessary shopping detour, we discovered the formula for good weather. The weather improved with each shopping trip

A truly beautiful tour! Good forest paths, a tailwind, and sunshine. The finale was a wonderful shelter circle in a pleasant atmosphere. The location next to the lighthouse in the dunes near the sea is simply unique.

We set off from our shelter at the harbor and headed across the country. A bit of a stretch of road and a brief shower... But once we reached the coast and enjoyed the beautiful, varied stretches, all that was quickly forgotten!

With a day off, we outsmart the wind and rain. We barely get wet, and the second puncture in our tire isn't really a problem. We make progress despite the headwind... we're probably used to it. The oncoming road cyclists seem to enjoy the tailwind. In the evening, we're surprised by a gorgeous shelter

Not a particularly noteworthy tour, a bit monotonous and close to the road, but we're happy that we arrived before the rain despite the forecast, discovered a nice pub, and that our little one doesn't have a middle ear infection.
