May 21, 2025,Buxtehude -Stade - Buxtehude

A beautiful bike ride from Buxtehude to Stade and back. From Buxtehude through the town of Jork, always along the dike between vast orchards and the Elbe River. The destination was the Hanseatic city of Stade with its beautiful harbor and old half-timbered houses. After a stop at a lovely café, we returned to Buxtehude. The approximately 60 km journey …

June 17, 2025,Rundtour Stade - Buxtehude - Jork - Stade

The tour was generally relaxing. The ride from Stade to Buxtehude, apart from a small stretch of forest, was all through fields and past the railway line. Not as thrilling, but a good ride. Recommendation: occasionally leave the route and cycle into the towns.

The largest contiguous apple-growing area in northern Europe.
Taking photos of all the locations would have blown the time limit.

Hey,
a beautiful bike ride today 🚴🚴 highly recommended 👍. Some of it was already familiar to us, but what we discovered today was truly perfect 😉. Lots of nature, older houses, and many beautiful bike paths, except for one stretch that runs a little longer along the road. But hey, whatever, the bike path was perfectly smooth, the new …

Another round from the "Altes Land" tourism.
In the best weather, we set off from Stade, always along the railway line to Horneburg. A great stretch of the route. Then we cycled a little along the Lühe and through the apple orchards to Jork and Buxtehude. The cherry blossom was already over, but the apple blossom was in full swing …

June 21, 2025,21.06.2025 Von Dollern über Stade an die Elbe

Since temperatures of up to 30°C were forecast for today, I shortened my planned tour a bit. Instead of cycling from Buxtehude, I took the S-Bahn to Dollern, where I began my tour.

At a pleasant 24°C, I cycled through the orchards to Stade, where tall trees provided shade. I made a quick photo stop at the Stade harbor before …

July 4, 2022,04.07.22 Über Stade und Twielenfleth zurück nach Buxtehude

Today it was a bike tour combined with the 9€ ticket. I took the S-Bahn to Stade and from there via Twielenfleth and Jork back to Buxtehude. Bright blue skies but almost always headwind. Do any of you know why the headwind is always particularly strong in the last few kilometers? 🙄😀
