A beautiful tour in Ditmarschen. The Wesselburen Church was particularly special.
The pictures are quite mixed up 🥴

Today from Büsum cycled the cycle path to the Eider barrage. Very scenic in the national park and long sea views. At the Eidersperre you can, for example, strengthen yourself with a fish sandwich 😋👌. You can also experience how the bridge goes up and the cars, cyclists and pedestrians have to wait until the ship is through. Boat trips …

First real day of vacation. Following the coast, heading north. To the Eider Barrage. First, we'll just see if we can get over it by bike. 👍🏻 OK. Then we can also go to St. Peter-Ording. With the extreme elevation profile up here, one battery charge will last us almost the entire vacation 🤣🤣

At 33 degrees behind and in front of the dike, the otherwise nasty crosswind made cycling bearable, only in Büsum did we flee, not from the heat, but from the "social contacts" 🤣

Hello! There's a stiff breeze blowing this morning! It was a lovely tour from Büsum to the Eider Barrage, then along the Katinger Watt, through Kating and Tönning and then through the fields and villages to Wesselburen, through Reinsbüttel and Westerdeichstrich back to Büsum.
