November 18, 2023,Novembertour ab Stöckter Hafen

As soon as you leave Winsen behind, you reach the Stöckterdeich, which you follow to the end of the tour. This section of the route is particularly beautiful architecturally and scenically.

February 26, 2022,🪶🦢🌾 NSG Ilmenau-Luhe-Niederung

We have delivery and collection service today 🚕 👪🏼. So daughters brought to the starting point Kaltehofe (mammoth march 🦣). And once you're there, it's not that far to Winsen. After a little city exploration 🏘 we hiked along the NSG on unfortunately mostly paved paths to the Elbe. The view of the Zollenspieker ferry house is great. Unfortunately, it …

January 18, 2025,Wo bitte geht's nach Winsen (Luhe)?

Firstly, it was so foggy today that the city and the path were shrouded in a mystical veil, and secondly, although we live practically opposite Winsen, we haven't been here yet. It's definitely worth it. The city is lively, with lots of cafes, shops and restaurants, and it's located on a green nature belt, close to the Elbe. We'll definitely …

April 27, 2023,Ilmenausperrwerk /Elbe/ Ilmenau Runde von Winsen (Luhe)

Since we were in this area anyway, we immediately added a hike. We were surprised by a great, tranquil dike path that went through idyllic houses, lakes and landscapes and huge greenhouses to the Elbe. There it went a good bit along the Elbuferstrasse (sidewalk available), which we walked from below, but it was a bit quieter there. Then back …

February 3, 2025,3-Flüsse-Wanderung bei Winsen

This hike leads through the Winsener Marsch along the Luhe, the Elbe and the Ilmenau. The path goes over the tops of the dikes most of the time: hiking views of the wide landscape are guaranteed.
An extremely beautiful hike!

June 3, 2025,Ilmenausperrwerk & zurück nach Winsen

Nature is often the city's next door 😉. A few fluffy clouds and a bright sky inspired me to take this tour, which truly showcases a wealth of nature and wildlife. A small drawback for me is, once again, the asphalt portion of the paths. Nevertheless, it's a truly beautiful tour that can also be incorporated into a bike ride. …

February 23, 2025,Ilmenausperrwerk – Ilmenau Runde von Hoopte

Small, fine tour from Hoopte through the "Ilmenau - Luhe Niederung" nature reserve. Although I have been here many times by bike, there was so much to discover and marvel at on foot that you would have passed by far too quickly. A great tour.
