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.

Aurora mill

Highlight • Monument

The mill is beautiful, you just have to take the back bike path, otherwise you drive directly past the road. And at the crossroads at the “port” we were lucky enough to find a van with delicious fish sandwiches.

Altes Land Dike Route and Traditional Farmhouses

Highlight • Cycleway

From Moorburg you can cycle very nicely on the dike into the old country. In late summer you can see thousands of apple trees with ripe fruit.

July 24, 2022,Obstroute Altes Land

We chose one of the two fruit routes to explore the Altes Land. We were able to park for free on the hard shoulder about 1 kilometer from the Lüheanleger. Overall, the tour was nice - unfortunately with some sticks right on the street -. The routes directly through the plantations 🍎 🍏 and the streets with the great half-timbered …

September 12, 2022,12.09.2022 Radtour zur Sietas Werft und ins Alte Land

The weather can hardly be better for a bike tour.

I drove to the Elbe, more precisely to the Sietas shipyard in Hamburg-Neuenfelde. Germany's oldest shipyard, its current name is Pella-Sietas Werft, is insolvent and is being wound up. Everything that can be monetized is or has been sold. I wanted to take a few more photos here before there …

So no one needs to be afraid of a shortage of apples. The fully-bearing trees with the red fruit are beautiful to look at.
The weather was great.
There was delicious cake and latte macchiato (even with oat drink) at the Matthies fruit farm. New harvest of apples and pears and a few beans wanted to come along.
I can't …

May 1, 2025,Obstblüte: Neuenschleuse Buxtehude Jork

Fruit blossom: today's second loop. This route leads past many orchards and, in some places, right through them. You can really take your fill of the view here. Walking tours in Buxtehude and Jork are worthwhile.

April 29, 2024,Buxtehude - Altes Land

Today from Buxtehude along the Este to where it flows into the Elbe. Then further along the Elbe to the entrance to the Hahnöfersand prison, unfortunately it is not possible to continue along the Elbe from there, from there you have to drive along the main road to Borstel. From Borstel we then went on to Jork to the Feindt …
