View of container ships on the River Elbe

Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful path directly along the Elbe: the mighty dyke on the left and the Elbe on the right. Ships that seem to come slowly pass surprisingly quickly. Migratory birds fly in large flocks over the Elbe. There is always a place to take a break. In summer, sheep graze here. They "live" here - the cyclists are just guests.

September 29, 2021,Otterndorf - Leuchtturm Dicke Berta Runde von Duhnen

Although the weather is a bit inconsistent today, I wanted to take the chance, borrowed an e-bike and first drove through the Cuxhaven hinterland to Otterndorf. The place is very worthwhile to take a closer look. From Otterndorf I always cycled back to Duhnen along the dike - of course not without a delicious fish sandwich in the fishing port😋. …
