Since the weather was so great, I quickly packed my bag, grabbed my camera and off I went. The first photo stop was right at the front door because a heron was hunting for mice in the field. Then it was off to Glückstadt. On the way to the Stör barrier, I tried to photograph some reed buntings in the …

my favorite tour Lots to see along the way, Glücksstadt destination is always nice. It doesn't matter whether it's fish sandwiches at the harbor or cakes on the market square.

On the way back from the Altes Land region, we took a circular bike tour along the Stör River. After an hour of waiting, we were finally able to cross the Elbe by ferry from Wischhafen to Glückstadt. frs-elbfaehre.de .

Waves of fog rise from the Elbe mudflats, and it's another ☀️☀️☀️☀️ day.

A very nice round, super passable ... 400 m push on the dike was not an issue. We especially deserved the well-deserved fish sandwich in Glückstadt.

Drive from Itzehoe to Beienfleth only north of the Stör. Then cross the sturgeon.

A nice, quiet tour from Glückstadt, a break in Beidenfleth at the Stör ferry, then on to Heiligenstedten, and back to Glückstadt on the other side to take a look around.

Today I finally did a longer tour I'd planned. The wind was a bit stronger than predicted, but you just have to live with it. After all, what's the point of the e-assist? But it was beautiful again in the wide open country.

I had to search again for the first few kilometers because the dyke was closed to pedestrians and cyclists because of bluetongue disease among the sheep.
