Cycling

Buxtehude is inextricably linked with the famous race between the hare and the hedgehog. It's no wonder that a lot of things in the fairytale town revolve around the cute little animals - and this tour is no exception.

It starts in Buxtehude's old town, where you pay a visit…

Buxtehude Fleth

Highlight • River

The canal runs right through the city center, there are many street cafés to the right and left. Has a bit of Amsterdam flair ....

Ovelgönne Watermill

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful old watermill, located right next to a small lake. You can even get married here. There are also plenty of places to sit in front of the mill.

Beautiful bike ride with beautiful bike paths through the forests around Buxtehude. The cycle paths are easy to drive on 🌳🚲🌳 but not necessarily recommended with a bicycle trailer or recumbent bike.

Today I went on a lovely bike ride in Buxtehude. Through forests and past various lakes. Past various orchards in the "Altes Land" (Old Country). The water wheel in Ovelgönne was out of service, presumably due to a lack of water.
