The thatched-roof houses are a great destination. I rode past Pagensand five days ago on 23.6.26 on my bike tour and back via Klein Nordende.

That was yesterday 22.6.26 on my bike tour to the Drehbrücke. I am adding the following pictures: Two pictures from the Bienenmuseum, where the ADFC-Gruppe Tornesch-Uetersen occasionally meets. A single bench. A rest area that has since been renovated.
