Parking in Sauensiek, e.g. at the kindergarten.

Coffee break at the Hillert bakery in Harsefeld.

We pushed our bikes through the great city center of Buxtehude, but we certainly didn't see all the highlights.

Beautiful autumn tour through the Stade district.

Today I was on the forest route in the district of Stade. A tour I can recommend.
I drove them back differently from Harsefeld. The original route is also very beautiful.
