Pure travel time: 3:12 hours! Fried fish at the fish stall at Otterndorf campsite is a must! Container ships on the beach at Dicke Berta are a must.
I recommend finishing off with an ice cream at the Cuxhaven excursion port. Really delicious! 😋

We're going on vacation for a few days - near Cuxhaven - wonderful dike landscape and really big "pots" 👍

After the wind had driven the heat away, we still had to drive a lap to the former lighthouse. The wind was still there, plus a tailwind and then, as always, a headwind on the way back 😆
