April 27, 2024,Schlei / Runde von Stubbe über Sieseby, Kappeln, Arnis und Lindaunis

At 14°, a light breeze and blue-white-grey skies, we cycled around the Schlei today. First of all, the conclusion -> a very nice and recommendable tour 🤩

From the starting point, the car park at the Lindaunis Bridge (Stubbe side), we went through the Schlei Nature Park. The Schlei was always in view, sometimes directly along the water.

So we continued on the bike path along the road to Lindaunis. We visited the café in the former house of the country doctor from the popular TV series. …
