Had this been our first leg on the E9 today, we would never have considered hiking it... Once again, we were thwarted by the dike 😣 A fence had been erected because sheep were on the dike, and ultimately, a gate was locked, right next to the sign indicating that the Way of St. James and the E9 pass

From Kollmar onwards, the path along the dike is no longer a problem 😅
The sheep remained relaxed as we passed by with Simba.
Simba's highlight was once again chasing the waves, and so we arrived safely in Glückstadt.
Glückstadt is a pretty little town steeped in tradition!
The path then led us to the Elbe

It started off great, always along the Krückau River, beautiful 😊
Elmshorn, including the pedestrian zone, then a park by the Krückau – a lovely stretch!
But then we were supposed to continue on the dike, and that's impossible 😣
Climbing gates, gates closed with cable ties, no way in 🤔
After trying all

Once again, beautiful hiking trails through the fields, through the Rantzauer Forest, and along the Krückau hiking trail. The weather is autumnal again, with a bit of everything, even a tiny bit of sunshine 😅
This section of the trail was also worth it.

It was a great autumn hike 😊 with rain, changing leaves, and a decent wind 😅
Beautiful forest paths and the landscape of Himmelmoor accompanied us for a bit.
Another small section in our collection, and again very beautiful!
We reversed the direction so we'd have a clean dog at the end 😅

We're heading towards Glückstadt, where we'll cross the Elbe.
Today we visited numerous tree nurseries, saw the special church in Rellingen, and the crowning glory for Simba, Lake Wollny.
We're thrilled with the E9; so far, the routes have always been worthwhile!

We follow the E9 along the East Frisian Hiking Trail, with constant reminders of the narrow-gauge railway, until we reach our destination, Leer. With its harbor and old town, Leer is a worthy final stop before we hike the final stretch to the Dutch border, where the E9 leaves Germany on the western side.

A beautiful route along an avenue-like hiking trail, past the rubbing post sculptures, which I've marked as highlights:
Horses, cattle, goats, sheep, and even pigs like to rub and rub themselves. If no tree is available, a fence post is sometimes used, often pushing it aside. For this reason, farmers

Today, we say goodbye for now, with the tour to Aurich.
The hike was very beautiful, always along the Jade-Ems Canal, with its bridges, locks, small marinas, waterfowl, and the changing foliage.
Yesterday, we noticed that there were no signs for the E9.
On the Baltic Sea side, we had found one signpost in four days.

Since the motorway before the Elbe Tunnel will surely be congested again, we chose this route via the Elbe. 😊
