Hogendiek Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge looks a bit Dutch and is therefore a nice splash of color in northern German climes.

Jork Town Hall
Year Built: 17th Century
Elevation: approx. 1 m above sea level

(See map).

The town hall in the historic center of Jork is a three-story, historic timber-framed building constructed in the mid-17th century by Count Matthäus von Haren. The town is also known as the Altes Land region and has a very eventful history.

The town hall boasts a beautiful entrance portal adorned with coats of arms. In front of it is a charming little garden with parkland, benches, lanterns, and an anchor monument. The building underwent extensive restoration in the 1970s and has been beautifully restored. It still retains its original appearance.

It is located in the center of Jork.

Jork - beautiful half-timbered houses

Highlight • Settlement

Here it is worth buying local fruit and stopping at one of the courtyard cafes and trying the homemade cakes.

Apple orchards in the Altes Land near Mittelnkirchen

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

A few quiet kilometers through orchards, mostly apple trees. The apple trees are currently in beautiful full bloom. Some side paths lead to ponds. Strange: the flowers were lavishly beautiful, but I didn't see or hear any bees, bumblebees or other insects during my breaks. It was noticeably quiet when taking photos.
Towards the Elbe, the red and white lighthouse of Lühe appears in the background. Good economic route. Closed to general traffic.

Great views and photos of the Altes Land region. You can't get enough of them. You can go on a bike tour or hike any time of year. And the impressions, experiences, and sights are always changing. Highly recommended 👍.

View of the Elbe River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Elberadwanderweg leads directly along the Elbe. The alternation between low and high tide is interesting. The ships are impressive.
There is always a place for a quiet break along the way.

Easter Monday: Small but mighty. With every holiday fewer kilometers and speed on the speedometer. But today the photo motifs took precedence 📷.

Hello from the old country. The old country is a cultural landscape designed from the twelfth and 13th centuries. It is the largest contiguous fruit-growing area in Northern Europe. The fruit-growing area was created especially by Dutch settlers. There are over 18 million fruit trees. In Low German the area is called Olland. The old country has had self-government since …

A nice tour 👍 at first it wasn't quite so nice along the road. Later, however, a man is compensated by a beautiful fruit blossom, which is really great. Also very nice along the Elbe 😄

I liked route 3/4. The part through the apple orchards is very beautiful. The beautiful old houses are also worth seeing. The stretch along the dyke wasn't that great.
