Aurora mill

Highlight • Monument

The mill is beautiful, you just have to take the back bike path, otherwise you drive directly past the road. And at the crossroads at the “port” we were lucky enough to find a van with delicious fish sandwiches.

I can't …

Fruit blossom: today's second loop. This route leads past many orchards and, in some places, right through them. You can really take your fill of the view here. Walking tours in Buxtehude and Jork are worthwhile.

May 12, 2022,12.05.22 Über Estebrügge und Jork zurück nach Buxtehude

When I sat on the bike today, I actually had no plan where I wanted to go at all. A tour of the Altes Land is always the right choice.

So I drove back to Buxtehude via Estebrügge and Jork.
