On the bike path between Schiffdorf and Spaden, you'll find the lock. The Geeste River flows alongside it. A restaurant is located directly to the right of the bridge. A great bike path leads along the Geeste to Bremerhaven. Highly recommended 👍.

A very beautiful hiking and biking trail along the Gerste River. There are plenty of seating areas and a barbecue area. A restaurant is right at the beginning.
