Marschbahndamm Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very good alternative to the tour on the Elbe. There is plenty of shade here, especially in summer, and there are also a few benches to rest on. Highly recommended bike path.

Cycle path through the Kirchwerder Wiesen Nature Reserve

Highlight • Cycleway

A very pleasant cycle path; as usual, the former railway lines are flat, wide, and without sharp curves. The landscape is predominantly rural and dotted with plenty of water.

Spontaneously I decided last night to say hello to the Elbe. In the next few days I will cycle a bit here. So far I like it quite well, maybe I'll ride the whole Elbradweg next year or the year after that.

Individual old houses from an era, remnants of the Iron Curtain elsewhere with …
