Without my wife's Pedelec, I wouldn't have enjoyed the tour. First there was the steep ups and downs on the Hohe Ufer, which were pretty tough, and then there was a headwind on the way back. But it was really nice. With luggage, I would definitely take the south bank of the Elbe on this 3rd leg.

The mobile phone has once again created great highlights: 400m deepest point; 240m highest point 😡 nevertheless it was a great one. Tour in great weather.

Nice route to drive along the Elbe.
On the Geesthacht side, nice bike path through the forest.

What a beautiful bike ride 🤩. The route runs through the forest and along the dike. Be sure to bring plenty of snacks 🥪🥤. The ice cream from Eiscafé 49 (in the oldest house in Lauenburg, dating back to 1573) didn't last long 😅. They also serve fish sandwiches 🥯 there 👍

A very nice bike tour! Especially the Schleswig-Holstein side with the paths directly on the Elbe are beautiful.

After my two fellow cyclists have also arrived, it was time for the obligatory warm-up lap.
From Tesperhude through the Elbe Forest to Lauenburg.
We drove around the old town generously (no one wanted cobblestones).
We cycled across the Elbe bridge and drove straight to the first bakery where we could wait for the reported rain showers with coffee and …

Morning 11:00 a.m. sun is shining...great

Off to Elmshorn, my home...
Check accommodation during the first break...
After 10-12 calls, no JHB, no pension and not a hotel in the area a room available...🤔🤬🤬🤬!
pure frustration...
Then demolition, back to the youth hostel, they had something!
Check in around 5:30 p.m., store your bike, eat something, shower and...sleep!
😭🥱😴😴😴

So please don't do it again...
Many will know this beautiful round trip. The route from Geesthacht via Artlenburg is a must, from Lauenburg via Schnackenbek back to Geesthacht the freestyle....simply fantastic....if you stick to the plan and don't try to drive as close to the water as possible. It should be possible from Schnackenbek, but right behind Lauenburg it …
