View of the River Elbe

Highlight • Viewpoint

No gravel, but not good asphalt... it is a view of the Elbe near Neu Darchau, but the point is wrongly positioned. It is actually near the former Alt Garge power station

June 12, 2022,Runde von Bleckede an der Elbe entlang 🌞🌞🚴🚴
Did a lap in the flat land today without a battery... 😀😀😀🌞🌞🌞

A true experience: the Elbtalaue south-east of Hamburg. As part of our trip to Lüneburg, the tour started and ended in beautiful Bleckede. Accompanying the tour was almost always the tender singing of the skylarks. Of course, some storks were also visible and other bird animals. The biosphaerium and beaver lodge were a worthwhile conclusion. NICE!

Today we went with the bikes on the Elbe Cycle Path from Bleckede to Neu Darchau. We parked at the ferry terminal in Bleckede and then first crossed the Elbe by ferry. Takes about 5 minutes and costs 1.50 euros per person with a bike. The ferry runs every 10-15 minutes, shuttling back and forth almost constantly. From Neu Bleckede …

I can recommend this round trip to anyone who loves the Elbe and the expanse of the Elbtalauen. Today's storm gave a strong boost the first half of the way. On the other hand, the headwind on the way back slowed us down extremely.

As always, paths with excellent indications. A real pleasure on a course without difficulties... except perhaps the wind on the way back
Today we drove without children with @Herr Raufuss from Bleckede towards Neu Darchau. Then we took the ferry and headed back north. Shortly before Stiepelse we saw (very) dark clouds and we took refuge in the café/bistro "Plan B"
Highly recommended!


Unfortunately we got wet just before the Elbe ferry "Amt Neuhaus". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Varied round: First on the dyke and on the dyke along the former inner-German border. Then on the other side through a rustic forest area and finally through an eternally wide march on the Iron Curtain Trail...

Be sure to avoid the area between kilometers 28.9 and 31.5. The undergrowth is getting denser and the stinging nettle is almost as tall as a man.
To the right of the Elbe (seen in the direction of the flow) a 5-star cycle path, to the left of the Elbe the opposite.
In Neu Darchau there was only one emergency …
