Very nice piece of the Elbe bike path. Also in the rain very photogenic :) But you have to note that there is no protection in the storm.

May 1, 2024,Von Glückstadt nach Brunsbüttel und zurück

The paved Aussendeich track between Glückstadt and Brokdorf is not in good condition (wider tires and less pressure are advisable... Or just take the road!). From Brokdorf to Brunsbüttel the path along the Elbe is paved and in mostly good condition.

September 19, 2022,Brunsbüttel an der Elbe lang.

After a good 2-week break, including a vacation with the motorbike in France, we finally started cycling again today. The rain stayed up and the sun showed up from time to time.
It was high tide, so I was able to drive close to the water's edge. In St. Margarethen there was a coffee with Franzbrötchen.
Now the next thing …

Today our route took us to Brunsbüttel.

Actually only as far as the lock of the Kiel Canal, but since the ferry was free, we went further.
To round off our trip, we had an ice cream and a cold beer at Strandfloh in Bielenberg.

Mostly asphalt some paved. The plaster has one or the other damage but nothing wild no problem. Komoot has once again drawn a long straight …

A great time, which unfortunately will be the last time it takes place. A lot of money was certainly raised for cancer support.

I have this one dream: to cycle the Elbe Cycle Path once. Ideally, from source to mouth ❤️
Today, however, I cycled from Brunsbüttel to the Stör Barrage. It was sooooo beautiful 🤩👌
Unfortunately, the app sent me past the Brunsbüttel nuclear power plant. The first gate was open, but I still felt a little uneasy. And then I had …
