Highlight • Viewpoint

There is now a snack bar at the “Aal & Krabbe” restaurant at the front of the harbor (galley). This now appears to be the "replacement" for the former fish shop across the street.

February 22, 2025,Schneemann aus Stein – Vareler Schleuse - Dangast

The route was very monotonous, always straight on a paved dike path and the way back mostly along a road. Okay as a bike tour, not recommended on foot 🤷🏼‍♀️ in my opinion. Unfortunately it was low tide again, I always have bad luck on the North Sea, sigh.
I still managed to get some nice photos. 😉
