Rain, rain, rain, and no tailwind. At least the Rogätz ferry was operating. Locks and the water junction of the Elbe and the Mittelland Canal. Magdeburg, and thus the end of the bike tour.

From Wittenberge Town Hall, we sped through to Havelberg. We crossed the Old Town Island and visited the cathedral, which towers high above the city.

The old town of Hitzacker is located on an island and is worth a visit. The Dönitz Bridge is not fully functional. In Gorleben, you can experience the ups and downs of nuclear power.

From Geesthacht, we first went to the pumped-storage power plant. A fantastic view. We skipped the Krümmel nuclear power plant to the right, though.

Crabs from the cutter in Büsum and pure nature all the way to Brunsbüttel.

There are many routes between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden. Along the Main River or along the Autobahn.

As always, it's hot when the Ironman races in Frankfurt. Congratulations to the winner, Kristian Blumenfelt, and respect to all the athletes. As for me, I cycled to Bornheim without any competitive pressure to quench my thirst with running friends in the Schönen Berger.

Normally, you take the island railway from the harbor to the village. But I took my bike. Along the dike, past Flinthörn. The children's homes are located on the outskirts of the village. Traditionally, Caritas, for mothers and children; the AWO, on the other hand, for mothers, fathers, and children
