June 20, 2025,Stade nach Krautsand

There are no mountains here, at most a headwind. The trip from Stade to Krautheim was mostly on the road behind the pond. It was a pleasant ride because there were hardly any cars. I found the lifeboat factory interesting. It has a test and training facility right on the Elbe River.

The cycle path ran in front of, on and behind the dike. The route was 80 to 90% car-free! With the exception of the dike, all paths were asphalted.
The church in Assel was marked as an "open church" but was closed. Nevertheless, the little detour was OK.

It happened in Krautsand, the rear wheel slowly bleeds, but thanks to the good foot pump
of a fellow cyclist, we made it back to a bike shop in Stade (see photo) who fixed the problem immediately.
Now we are enjoying the rest of the day.

We cycled from Assel to Stade in beautiful sunshine and, unfortunately, a cold wind.
Arriving at the Stade fish market, we were able to lock our bikes safely at the bike racks, and nothing stood in the way of our stroll through the old town...
