The Nord-Ostee-Kanal interrupts the roads in Brunsbüttel. Here the ferries come into play. No sooner are you on the ferry, barrier down, it starts really. This is almost like in …

Parts of the service route on the canal are due to The subsidence of the embankment is closed, even for cyclists. Detours are not well signposted everywhere (in Ecklag, for example, there is no sign showing how to get back to the NOK. Komoot can help with that 😎). For details on the current situation, see nok-route.de

Should I ride or not ride... it should stay dry - and it stayed dry 😅
There are actually still slugs 🤪
There are one or two less now.
Well - with a tailwind I set off in ECO mode - so I had enough support on the way back 🥳

Unfortunately, the canal cannot be accompanied by bike path from Brunsbüttel. You have to switch to the less pretty refinery landscape.
There is then the classic NOK cycle path to the Burger Ferry, already worth seeing.
On the way back, a section on the other side of the bank was blocked. Thank goodness the ferries are free and run very …

We took advantage of the good weather today and drove from Hochdonn along the Kiel Canal to Brunsbüttel. Unfortunately, a section of the canal from the Burger Ferry was closed on both sides due to construction work, so that we would have to accept diversions on the round trip. But it didn't hurt, it was a wonderful day, used the …
