Beautiful old Dutch windmill, even fully functional. You can admire it on Mill Day at Pentecost. There are delicious cakes in the café right next door.

View of the Geesthacht Lock

Nice tour at 10 degrees and moderate wind along the Elbe with Schatzi😍.

A beautiful bike ride from the Stover Strand RV park. With a Zollenspiecker ferry ride, a break at the Riepenburger Mühle (Cafe Molina) and a detour to the "famila" in Geesthacht 😀

Beautiful route starting from the large car park opposite the ferry terminal in Hoopte.

Saturday🌤... but windy... ok, after 2 km turn back and get a jacket! Let's go again 😎🤭. Arrived at the ferry, mmh with this wind, do I really want to? Oh yes!! On the ferry, I think, yeah, the dog is really good... but somehow she looks strange. Oh oh she won't, yes she has🤮😬🙈🤣. Otherwise it was nice, sun, wind and not many people! Let your thoughts free and enjoy the time... And StSt, just for you 🐑🦒=🦙 And Mr Ramme Odins they, the beautiful black birds 🪶, they follow me 🪶 or have always been there, who knows 🤷 ♀️😉 At least there is no tour without them...

Elbe again. With Cora, Chris and Ben we drove up the Elbe from Hoopte to the lock. We took a break⏸️ at the lock. We went back over the Marschenbahndam to Zollenspieker. The ferry did the rest⛴️

Relaxed tour along the Elbe, which is crossed twice: First you cross the Elbe near Geesthacht on the south side and later return with the Elbe ferry from Hoopte to Zollenspieker.

Translated by Google

By ferry to Hoopte, along the Stöckter Dike towards Laßrönne. From there, we first went in front of the dike, then behind the dike, and then back in front of the dike to Geesthacht. Through the Borghorst Elbe landscape to the Marschenbahn embankment, which we followed back.

Even though the sky was overcast at first, the sun still made it out.
