On Friday, the market is in Havixbeck, and "De Kaasboer" is always a special attraction for us. Through the beautiful Münsterland park landscape, our path leads us through vast grain and corn fields, meadows, and forest. Everywhere it smells wonderfully of freshly cut hay, and the beautiful view over

To alleviate our withdrawal symptoms from the North Sea, we're heading to Fuestruper Strand today 🏖️!
But first, we're enjoying one of our favorite local tours again. These always include the Rieselfelder, of course. The extremely high temperatures of the last few days probably haven't done them much

Despite the heat, which doesn't suit us so well, we wanted to go into the old town again.
First, back to Tapao. Actually, we are not the type to repeat things, but love variety and really like trying new things. But situated by the breezy harbor and with the best tapas ever - there was no alternative

With temperatures up to 40 degrees, we spontaneously shortened the planned tour and started very early in Jork - right in the middle of "Altes Land" - to take advantage of the still bearable temperatures.
We cycle through the wonderful half-timbered idyll and the vast fruit plantations, past the Borstel

With temperatures still pleasant, we consciously set off early, right from our hotel. Past Stade, we ride on narrow asphalt paths along the railway tracks, already passing through the first apple orchards into the "Alte Land" (Old Land). On 10,700 hectares, mainly apples (77%), cherries (12.7%), pears

After a refreshing shower at the hotel, we cycle to a small town in Lower Saxony (47,500 inhabitants) on the edge of the Altes Land. In the Middle Ages, Stade was one of the most important port cities up here in the north, the old town is beautifully preserved, on almost every house we discover a small

Immediately behind the Wischhafen ferry terminal near Dornbusch, the bascule bridge to Krautsand is closed until approximately December 2026. We already have to take a detour to the starting point of our tour and spontaneously reschedule the tour a bit.
At the start, we are greeted by one of these slightly

The room was sooo hot that we left Tønder quite early after escaping the bed. In the dense fog, we reached Glückstadt, got on the ferry without waiting, and in no time crossed the Elbe to Wischhafen.
On the ferry in April 2023, we experienced a wonderful sunrise at low tide ( komoot.com/de-de/tour/1098524331

After the pleasant Danish-northern temperatures, we are here, so close to the border, already noticeably closer to the scorching heat in Germany. The break and cooling off at the hotel did us a lot of good. Afterwards, we will go into the charming small town once more.
We left the bikes at the hotel by

After a 4-hour drive south again, we start in Tønder directly on the 🚲Panoramroute 1 through wide fields towards Møgeltønder. The very small village (approx. 750 inhabitants) is one of the oldest in the country and consists almost entirely of the church, Slosgade, and Schackenburg Castle at its end

Every year on June 23rd, the Danes celebrate the longest day of the year with the Sankt Hans Aften festival. To experience this for ourselves, we extended our stay here by one day.
In Løkken, the festival starts with a procession from Torvet to the beach with a small chapel, which many people follow

Today we take a look at Hjørring. Until April 1970, the city of 25,000 inhabitants was the administrative seat of Hjørring Amt, then the Hjørring Municipality was formed. For the city's 750th anniversary in 1993, an extensive urban renewal took place. Numerous sculptures by Danish artists were installed

In Hirtshals, we park at Husmoderstranden between the lighthouse and the harbor, get on our bikes and cycle to the harbor. The port of Hirtshals is one of Denmark's largest commercial and fishing ports, and ferries to Norway, the Faroe Islands, and Iceland also depart from here. We always find it nice

Fittingly for 10:00 PM, after our walk through the dunes, we arrive at the summer solstice at Ved Vandtårnet (=water tower).
The summer solstice in Løkken is a unique experience. At the world's only Solhvervssøjle (Solstice Column) at Vandtårnet, locals and guests gather every year. The festivities typically
