Stör Lift Bridge in Plate

Highlight • Bridge

In 2005, the drawbridge in Plate was converted into a lifting bridge. On the way past the Stör-Wasserstrasse you pass it. A look is worth it.

Both the view and the lake have already been added as highlights countless times. There's no need to recreate every previous meter and clutter up the komoot map. What a pity to miss out on the real highlights!

Today I went shopping again. From Schwerin to Sulte. Here I took potatoes, onions and honey with me. In Banzkow then the eggs. With full bags then to the Störkanal. Shortly before Plate there was a barrier and we had to continue on the road. At the restaurant I was able to continue on the Störkanal. The bike path that …

Dear fellow cyclists, another farm shop tour. I could also get everything at the weekly market, but then I wouldn't be able to enjoy the Störkanalfahrt. Do this tour again. Jörn wishes you a nice weekend

Dear fellow cyclists. Today a foggy tour. It should be a sunny day according to the weather report. I once again drove over the new bicycle bridge and to the garden city. Continue on the Ludwigsluster cycle path to Banzkow, here I filled up my egg supply. My next destination was the Störkanal, where the storm had done its work. …

Today we went to the farm shops again. First to Sülte to the 🥔 potato market. Since my potato variety was only packed in 10 kg bags, I took this with me. I also bought Boskop apples. With full saddlebags we continued to Banzkow to buy eggs. Past the Lewitzmühle to the Störkanal and back to Schwerin. Best wishes, Jörn

Back to the farm shops today. Since the new potatoes were so well-received, I was able to pick up more today. But I didn't want to make a long walk today in the heat. In Banzkow, where I bought the eggs, I then drove back along the Stör Canal. By the way, the cold shower afterward was wonderful. Best, Jörn.
