Junkernfeld chess flower meadow in the Lower Seeve Lowlands

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

Idyllic natural paradise with many water birds and other wild animals (herons, pheasants, hares ...) and of course the biggest highlight - the meadows of checkerboard flowers.

Seeve River in the Untere Seeveniederung

Highlight • River

The new bridge is no longer passable for heavy equipment. Now the heavy clocks have to make a detour via more stable bridges.

We received a gift of 2 nights on a hotel ship in Harburg. It's almost like being at home. 😉 But I don't really cycle around here much anyway. So we started a tour. In between, we picked up a coffee from my cousin, who lives nearby, and enjoyed nature. 😊

Partly by bike, partly on foot. In the Junkernfeld the chessboard flowers had unfortunately already faded - that was to be expected ;) and the ice, fallow and other birds flew beyond the range of the photo... Back along the Elbe via the villages with a nice break at Melkhus in Over. The Old Harburg Elbe Bridge is always an …

A beautiful tour. From the S Bahn Harburg we went along the Seeve Canal to the Great Lake on the Moor. We continued to Junkerfeldsee. Then a quick tour, always parallel to the track to the point and back on the other side. Made a short break at the Seeve and continued to the dike to Bullenhausen. There you come …

I and my new eBike got to know each other better in the best weather. My favorite driving modes became "Auto" and "Tour".
The route wasn't great, but it could be better.

July 14, 2022,Alte Harburger Elbbrücke – Die Seeve Runde von Heimfeld

mostly nice route, the beginning is not very nice. Alternative to the old Elbe bridge: drive through old Harburg and then via the B73 to the old Elbe bridge.
Furthermore, the way from Hamburg on the Autobahn and then to the Elbe is not so nice, there you drive very long on the dyke and on the federal/district road... the …
