Elbe Lateral Canal Underpass

Highlight • Bridge

The underpass is now easy to ride on the bike path because it has been or is still being renovated - finally reasonably wide and therefore relaxing to ride on.

Scharnebeck Ship Lift

Highlight • Monument

Built in 1974 as the world's largest ship lift. With a drop height of up to 38 meters and a theoretical length of 100 meters for ships to be lifted, it is still impressive today and a rare sight.

View of Reihersee

Highlight • Lake

The Reihersee is a beautiful sight, but the B209 is certainly not the most scenic route between Lauenburg/Elbe and Lüneburg. It's better to cycle west via Bütlingen, Barum Dionys, or east via Echem, Lüdersburg, and Rullstorf ;-)
