Thousand-Year-Old Oak Hittbergen
Highlight • Natural Monument
The oak is called a thousand year old, but with less than half the age you can get closer to the truth. The oak has a short trunk. At a height of just under 3 m, this dissolves into several thick branches, one of which has been shortened near the trunk. The crown is very irregular.
There are many different dimensions of the oak. Sometimes it is given with a circumference of 8.70 m, measured at a height of 1 m. That is way too much. And in 1993 Fröhlich stated a trunk circumference of 5.00 m, which again seems too little. The German Tree Archive shows the oak in its tree calendar Germany's old trees from 2017. The circumference, measured at a height of 1 m, is 6.22 m. That seems to be about the waist of the trunk. The vitality of the oak is still okay.
Height: 10 m above sea level
Tree species: English oak
Age: about 300 years
Chest circumference: 6.80 m (Oswald Tiedemann)
Waist circumference: approx. 6.30 m
Height of the tree: 16 m (Oswald Tiedemann)
Crown diameter: approx. 20 m
Year of measurements: 2017

The season at Melkhus starts on May 1st. This place is located in Sassendorf near Hohnstorf. The yoghurts are really delicious. It is a popular resting place for cyclists in summer.

Bleckede Old Town
Highlight • Settlement
After the fall of Henry the Lion, the Welfs lost the end of the 12th century, the disposal of the Elbe crossing Artlenburg and trade routes Bardowicks. Bleckede was therefore founded in 1209 as a city by Duke William of Brunswick and Lüneburg as a new trading center under the name Löwenstadt / Lowenstat on the Elbe. The name chosen in memory of Henry the Lion did not prevail. The place name Bleckede is probably due to the old Germanic "Blek-ithi", blek and -ithi here mean bright, free, bright spot, and originated from the former German and Wendish settlement Bleketsa and Slavicum Bleckede

Today my husband and I tested the new car bike rack that Santa brought. To try it out, we drove to Bleckede by car and from there we cycled along the Elbe. It worked well.

And that alone. It's actually not really my thing, because if something happens to the bike, I'll stand there and have no plan 😅 I thought it would go wrong.
It took me along the Elbe from …
