November 1, 2025,1.11.2025 🥾🦮 E9 von Kollmar nach Glückstadt mit Simba

From Kollmar onwards, the path along the dike is no longer a problem 😅
The sheep remained relaxed as we passed by with Simba.

Simba's highlight was once again chasing the waves, and so we arrived safely in Glückstadt.

Glückstadt is a pretty little town steeped in tradition!
