Very nice piece of the Elbe bike path. Also in the rain very photogenic :) But you have to note that there is no protection in the storm.

The Nord-Ostee-Kanal interrupts the roads in Brunsbüttel. Here the ferries come into play. No sooner are you on the ferry, barrier down, it starts really. This is almost like in …

August 11, 2025,Nordseeküste 2025 - Tag 16 - Von Glückstadt nach Klein Westerland

Sunshine again on day 16 of the trip. The first leg of the journey follows the Elbe River again. Near Brunsbüttel, I turn onto the Kiel Canal cycle path and cycle to my destination for today, the "Klein Westerland" campsite.

The return train only goes as far as here. The Kiel Canal begins in Brunsbüttel, 29 km north. We started along the canal, always following the canal. We see …

April 29, 2025,🚴🏻‍♂️Schöne Tour von Glückstadt entlang der Elbe Richtung Brunsbüttel. Vorbei an den alten AKW´s Brockdorf und Brunsbüttel. Danach entlang des NOK und der Stör zurück nach Glückstadt. 🌞

I really enjoyed the tour. I would have liked to have had a more frequent view of the Stör River. But the surrounding countryside with its fields made up for it. From Ecklack to Neuendorf, you ride on a country road. There's no bike path there. Fortunately, there's little traffic.

Unfortunately the tour was far too short 😥. In the glorious weather it went by itself. So much to see and it was already lunchtime. Delicious food and a look at the Kiel Canal/Elbe lock 🚢🛥. There's a lot going on there. The way back was also very quick and we were already entering Glückstadt 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🥂🎶🎵. That makes you more …
