It was still drizzling at the start at home, but it was dry at the parking lot. It mostly stayed that way. Beautiful paths and always the view of the Este. A worthwhile route that I will definitely repeat again when the weather is nicer and then possibly also plan the old town of Buxtehude 👍😃

I've been on the road several times between the mouth of the Este and Buxtehude - now another section that partly follows the Estewanderweg - great weather - little hustle and bustle - everything is beginning to bloom - sturdy shoes are necessary

Nice weather, great scenery and muddy path.
And unfortunately there were no new hiking shoes for Wolfgang due to the very limited supply at Stackmann due to delivery problems.

[Round from S Buxtehude]

Great round through the NSG Estetal from S-Bahn station Buxtehude 😊

In particular, the first half of the "way there" inspired me:

Splendid! 😍 And again and again: horses! …

After I recently celebrated my anniversary of the first Komoot tracking attempt with an adapted repetition of my short hike through Auetal (komoot.de/tour/772875826), today I am repeating my first "real “ digitally captured hike. And where could it have taken place better than in the Lower Este Valley near Buxtehude. I just counted, I've hiked the 10-kilometer …

A wonderful, green hiking trail along the Este River. Both sides are equally beautiful. In Buxtehude's pleasant pedestrian zone, you can sit back and enjoy coffee and cake.

A beautiful hike from Buxtehude train station. Initially, the trail ran through the town, then repeatedly along the Este River. The bridge I wanted to cross was unfortunately no longer there. We then continued to the next bridge, but it was very narrow and without a railing. One participant was afraid to cross it. The two of us then took …
