Alsterlauf Wellingsbüttel Riverside

Highlight • River

Here is a particularly beautiful place on the Alster, also because there is a shallow access to the water, where people and dogs can cool off a little. It is worthwhile to just stop here and take a break.

Alsterwanderweg

Highlight • Trail

Unfortunately, one has to say: The Alster hiking trail is beautiful - and therefore something like the "Touri standard program"! Although it is not so much tourists who get lost …

Upper Alster Trail

Highlight • Trail

Very nice section on the Alster. Apart from the racing bike, every type of bike can be used. Beware some confusing / poorly visible curves.

Trails in Hainesch-Iland Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

With all the direct competition, Hainesch-Iland is often "overlooked" - completely wrongly! But it is not easy to survive against the Alster lowlands :-)

June 25, 2022,Auch die andere Hood gecheckt…🚵💨💨🎉

My favorite and world's best gravel unit in the neighborhood. 40 kilometers by the water under trees in the middle of Hamburg. Either cruise along relaxed or drift risk-consciously through the sandy curves from a 25 average, scare one or the other pedestrian🫣 and mess with the numerous roots, which appear evenly distributed if you don't expect them😅. Today with …

A wonderfully relaxed ride around town. 🫠
Only the unruly car driver on the bike path along the Alster somehow didn't fit the picture. 🙄

The evening was just too nice to just sit on the sofa. So I quickly worked on the gravel on the house again. Really makes me happy every time‼️🤩

Beautiful dry, frozen forest and gravel paths in picture-perfect winter weather☀️☃️. The only thing to keep an eye on was the ice in the bends.

Small gravel ride in the best autumn weather - a dream☀️🍂🍁🥳 I also tested the new Grail setup: 46 tooth chainring combined with a 10-36 cassette. With the XPLR variant 10-44, the gear jumps in the heavy gears really annoyed me recently. If the selected gear was too light, the next gear was too heavy, which ultimately led to constant …

On my Gravelhaus round today I was able to drift nicely through the soft, muddy curves. Apparently it had rained a lot recently. I got really dirty...😂🐽
