Runs well on the dike. Only the last km before Itzehoe were overgrown, we then walked the parallel bike path.

February 9, 2025,Breitenburger Stör und Wald über Itzehoe
A great tour.
First along the dike with a beautiful view of the Stör. Then through the beautiful town of Itzehoe with some historic buildings where we also warmed up and fortified ourselves at a Vietnamese restaurant. Then we went back through the forest, which is probably even more beautiful at other times of the year.

This is a very varied hike. First it goes through the Lägerdorfer forest, in the direction of Breitenburg Castle. The Stör is crossed and through the Oelixdorfer Forest, up and down hills, you hike through the Eichtal to the district town of Itzehoe. The Café Ramm is always worth a visit and entices with delicious cakes and hot drinks. Through …

Very nice, idyllic tour through the forest and along the Stör. Partly a bit muddy, so be sure to wear suitable shoes! Many flocks of birds, which find good food in the marsh.
Breitenburg Castle can only be visited after registration, you could see through the trees from the dike.

First, we strolled through a sparse forest with sand dunes and ponds, which boasted beautiful reflections. I was particularly taken with a riverside path that led us through a field …

Again I 'had' to go to Itzehoe, again I was allowed to hike. Now in the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen, and back along the southern bank of the Stör.

Start near the town hall into the Malzmüllerwiesen and soon into the forest. I don't strictly follow the Andersen-Steig, as the Kratt and the 'Kochschen Dünen' further north interest me. …

Great tour 👍 at North German Weather 🌨, along the Stör, together with the 🐑 on the dike 😊.
