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.

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.
