April 24, 2022,Etappe 5 vom Campingplatz in Duhnen nach Landscheide

A cold but calm night. Hardly any wind.
That gave hope for the next day.
Dismantle the tent, but first a coffee ☕ ☕.
Then pick up the rolls and for the second breakfast.
Let's go. Through the town of Duhnen towards Cuxhaven. But I left out the ball bark. But through the fishing port.
Out of Cuxhaven met another …

June 10, 2024,Glückstadt nach Cuxhaven Tag 8 Aller-Elbe-Weser Tour

Today we took the last stretch of the Elbe cycle path to Cuxhaven. Here, however, the cycle path no longer just runs stubbornly along the dike. Unfortunately, the rain that had been forecast started an hour earlier, so it got a bit damp just before Cuxhaven.

May 4, 2024,Der Elberadweg - Etappe 1 - Cuxhaven nach Glückstadt 🐟🐑

The Elbe (Czech: "Labe"), which rises in the Czech Republic and flows through Germany to flow into the North Sea.

Right from the start, you are treated to a relaxing ferry ride, where a light breeze blows around your nose and you can already see the first large and small steamers on the Elbe.

August 9, 2021,Elberadweg Cuxhaven - Glückstadt Tag 9

Today we went from Cuxhaven to Glückstadt. The route from the Elbe Cycle Path is super easy to ride. If the wind comes from behind, even better. As for driving, we can't complain. We wanted to spend the night in Glückstadt, but hadn't booked any accommodation. That turned out to be very, very difficult. Everything fully booked! Ultimately, we sleep …
