August 24, 2024,Tour zum Restaurant Wassermühle Heiligenthal

It was still too early for a meal, so there was only non-alcoholic wheat beer or one or two spritzers and some beef carpaccio. Unfortunately we forgot to take a photo of it, it was super delicious.

A shopping spree today. The bike of choice: My Böttcher Explorer with luggage rack. The bike itself weighs approx. 16 kg including the Rohloff hub, hub dynamo etc., plus the purchase approx. 12 kg more than yesterday. That is noticeable. 😅😉

From Lauenburg via Echem and Scharnebek with boat lift to Lüneburg. On the way back off the B 209, we looked for something special and found the Johannes chapel in Adendorf. I missed the obviously small Bültenmoor. An ice cream in Brietlingen and on via Artlenburg back to Lauenburg.
