A picturesque swing bridge in Estebrügge. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it in action. Luckily, I didn't have to wait. :-) The narrow bridge doesn't allow two-way traffic. It's lined with beautiful, old, colorful half-timbered houses.

September 3, 2023,48/23 Von Buxtehude nach Cranz: Este - Deiche - Obst

At the end of my summer vacation, today I went on a hike along familiar paths from Buxtehude to Estebogen in Cranz.

Today we didn't go through forests, but on dikes along the Este, with wonderful views of the ripening apple orchards.

We took the 2040 bus to the Buxtehude harbor bridge. The bus drove for about 40 minutes through the beautiful Alte Land. We then took the 150 bus back.
Buxtehude is also very easy to reach by train. This pretty little town is also worth a visit and there are many places to stop for a bite to eat. If …

Although I've taken this route several times before, I enjoy the views it offers each time: the old town of Buxtehude, the Este River, whose banks are partially overgrown, the view of the orchards of the Altes Land (Old …

Nice path, lots on the dyke, plenty of apples on the tree, and now and then walnuts in the leaves. Finally, stop at the Finkenwerder ferry terminal: apple pie and a pot of coffee
