June 22, 2026,E - 🚴🏼‍♀️ 22.06.26 Mühlen - Störche - Windräder Tour v. Stade, Heinbockel, Kutenholz, Fredenbeck und Stade

Hi,
Left on time this morning with the bike and cycled a great bike route with refreshing wind and ☀️. Arrived home at 26🌡️, it was about time. Bike paths were good to ride on except for two sections. Saw many storks on their nests. The storks on the second nest were quite cheeky, as soon as my camera was …

And another round from the "Altes Land" tourism. The mill route. In Stade we head southwest inland. Past Haddorf to Grefenmoor to the Amanda mill. A beautiful grain windmill from 1896. A great place with outbuildings and an oven that seems to be from the same period. The mill is also used as a registry office today. We continue via …

Beautiful evening light and a varied tour over the slightly undulating Geest and the Schwingen lowlands.
Nice contrast between the historical windmills and the modern energy windmills.
Beautiful sections of the tour through the slightly undulating landscape. Paths are passable. In the "White Moor" the direction sign to Grefenmoor is twisted to the B 74!!!! Look at the map and …

The route is not recommended, very bad cycle paths and hardly any sights. The route often leads along busy roads

As with all tours in this area, good shock absorbers are an advantage as the trail often runs over bad roads. Nevertheless, the tour is easy to drive and varied.

The start and finish was once again at our hotel at the Obsthof. The mill route first leads to Museum Island in Stade, where the first mill can be seen. Beyond the village of Haddorf stands the very beautiful Amanda Mill. Mulsum also has a very beautiful windmill called Anna-Maria. This is apparently also used for weddings. Near Kutenholz, we …

October 29, 2023,Im Schwingetal und auf Abschnitten der Mühlenstraße

Today we were able to enjoy most of the sunshine. A rain shower 🌧 late in the morning we bypassed our planning.
However, today we had to deal with very strong winds 🌬 and sometimes strong gusts of wind. But as is the case with a round trip - you are “pushed” on about half of the route 😜 . …
