May 1, 2025,FT Dömitz-Hitzacker

A tour along the Elbe River in beautiful sunshine with great views and numerous stork nests.

Unfortunately, there were detours due to some dikes being renovated. One detour was very sandy.

Otherwise, it was great.

The highlight was the ferry crossing in Hitzacker 👌

Detour on the west side of the Elbe shortly before Hitzacker, about 5km more with a slight headwind - okay, but back in the east a detour through sand, potholes and a busy road - very borderline.

May 13, 2025,Hitzacker 🚴 Dömitz ☀️😎 Elberadweg hoch und runter 🤣

Today we started in the "City of Dwarves," taking the ferry across the Elbe and then cycling along the Elbe Cycle Path toward Dömitz 🚴 This was fraught, however 🥴 Due to the dike raising, we had to take detours on both sides. It worked, given the beautiful scenery 😁 Only the sandy path was a bit tricky 😫. The …

Wonderful Easter Monday tour in glorious weather. To celebrate the day, my husband rode along again. We took the ferry in Hitzacker and cycled to the right of the Elbe to Dömitz. There we crossed the Elbe bridge and then left the Elbe back to Hitzacker. Our short detour to Dömitz Fortress was not necessarily suitable for cycling. It was …

So cycling is finally fun again. Small e-support 🤫 and the announced wind doesn't matter.
In Hitzacker first took the small passenger ferry and then on the other side in the direction of Dömitz. We got really wet from the Elbe bridge and drove our bikes to peak performance to shake the water out of our clothes under the old …

But at 1 p.m. the sky was blue and we set off 🚲🚲.
We went to Hitzacker on the left bank of the Elbe 🤭. Here we had a short visit and a 🍨 break / in August 2017 we stopped here on our bike tour along the GREEN BELT.
Then we …
