Today, I went on a spontaneous bike ride around Lake Steinhude. The route was pleasant and offered great views of the water and nature. The stop in Steinhude was particularly nice. The restaurant "Zum kleinen Fisch" is highly recommended.

Start and end point was the holiday apartment in Steinhude.
🍰☕ Break at Birgits Cafe in Mardorf.
Uferweg 102

Slightly hidden, but with a very large selection of delicious cakes, cold and hot drinks. Recommended for a short stop on a bike tour.

When the weather was great, we took a relaxing lap around the Steinhuder Meer. Even though there were a lot of people on the road, it was still a good ride. Of course we took a lot of breaks (☕️🍰☕️🍰🐟🥖)😉😁😋...at the end we stopped at the "Alte Moorhütte" in Mardorf👍✌️. Photo order is a bit mixed up...🤷‍♂️✌️

The roll was even crispy. Afterwards we had a cool drink in the beach bar. There was a lot going on in Steinhude. Later at the campsite it was …

As you can see from the photos, unfortunately another generation of ducks is growing up who are not receiving adequate road safety training from their parents.
I'm definitely from the right 😉😉

A great day tour, with lots of breaks to look and pause. You can skip the first 9.5 kilometers from our starting point, it's just along the road and you can't see anything but the road. Everything else was worthwhile.

Today it was about the Steinhuder Meer. Very good varied cycle paths. There were sea eagles watching us, lots of beautiful buildings, lots of nature and great impressions, bike breaks were taken more often, depending on taste and opportunity... It was a bit cooler because there was no sun....
