The crane is the photo motif for the Elbe crossing. At the moment it is located near the recently completed quarter in Baakenhafen and the still unfinished Elbtower…

Once you reach the bridge from Veddel, you know you have arrived in Hamburg. It is a popular photo motif on Komoot. The bridge welcomes and bids farewell on bike tours in and out of the south.

Visually, the church is more reminiscent of Bavaria or Austria than the far north. Built in the neo-Baroque style and financially supported by Emperor Franz Joseph, the church still bears his name today.

A hidden path with unexpected scenic impressions along its relatively short stretch. It almost seems a bit enchanted. Cyclists should be very careful here because it's narrow and goes down very steeply, and most people will probably be pushing their bikes uphill. Therefore, this path's usefulness as a shortcut for cyclists is probably very limited. It's certainly beautiful here, though—but perhaps it's better to visit on foot.
