Holzhafenufer Old Harbor

Highlight (Segment) • River

At the piers are a bit confused and yet orderly the most diverse boats. Some are for leisure, others seem to be waiting to be revived. Unfortunately, the jetties are not open to the public.

October 1, 2024,116 / 24 Runde von Rothenburgsort / Billwerder

Today I went on a hike through Hamburg's industrial area, industrial monuments, and created natural spaces with my son Tom.
The weather was perfect for a partly run-down, but also partly idyllic area.
The wooden harbor offers a home for houseboats, and on the other hand there is freshwater mudflats (ebb and flow), which provide a habitat for water birds. …

Nice route. Less exciting corners of Hamburg, but relaxed. This route would be highly recommended by bike!

Unfortunately, my cell phone switched off due to a dead battery. At home I restarted it and was able to save my recording. Unfortunately, about 1.5km are missing. But that doesn't …
