A beautiful cycle route along the dike with partial views of the Elbe River. Many sheep graze nearby, so ride with caution; they usually don't budge. There's a snack bar along the route, a children's playground, and access to the beach and the Elbe. The Elbe crossing is also visible from the shore. This tour is highly recommended.
