Okay, for the sake of accuracy, the first 7-8 km were on the Big Bus, for orientation.
It was great, you could get off at interesting places and back on later. But, never again on a trip like this in the summer. It was to be expected, but the best part was on the bus, because of the wind! 😇😰😍 …

Many roads lead to Rome, and one even begins in Stade. We're talking, of course, about the Via Romea, a pilgrimage route that Abbot Albert von Stade walked in 1263 to say "hello" to the Pope. As if that weren't enough, he also walked back. If you're fit enough and have time, you can certainly do it, but my route …
