A beautiful path directly along the Elbe: the mighty dyke on the left and the Elbe on the right. Ships that seem to come slowly pass surprisingly quickly. Migratory birds …

Grimmershörnbucht Promenade and View of the Kugelbake

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Grimmershörnbucht with its crescent-shaped arch from the ferry port to the Kugelbake is perhaps the geographically most distinctive place in Cuxhaven. Beautiful.

We are in Cuxhaven for a week... the 1st time... and today we did a round around Cuxhaven! Unfortunately, at the beginning we drove a lot along the road... cycle path... you could certainly change that! Looked at the harbor a bit... very nice! Then it went along the dike with a short break and on through a flock of …

The way back from Otterndorf only goes along the country road and a very bad cycle path 🤮

Wow, what fun.

We started at 15 degrees, 40 km/h wind, gusts of 50 km/h, and near high tide.

The cycle path behind the Kugel Barke was flooded to about waist height, we continued through sheep-populated dikes and then inland behind the dike.

The way there is on the dyke, where you often have to get off to open the gates because of the sheep meadows. On the way back, the cycle path is often next to the country road.

We start the tour in Döse. First we looked at the old fishing port in Cuxhaven. The "Alte Liebe" is a must. Then we went via Döse, Dunen and Sahlenburg over forest and field paths to Otterndorf. The town is well worth seeing. Then we always headed back along the dike. The "Big Bertha" just before Cuxhaven was another highlight …

Today our friend Werner took us on a Komoot tour and everything went wonderfully. From the Siemenshalle I took the rest to Duhnen via Alte Liebe, Kugelbake on the water and from Döse on the inner dike. Plenty of sun all day, only a lot of wind in the late afternoon.
