Beautiful loop in Schleswig-Holstein.
This is a great route that first goes through fields and forests. The Schleusen Cafe always invites you to take a little break. The old lock is quite impressive. The old Eider Canal has been shut down for a long time, but that is precisely why nature has developed fantastically here and is always worth a trip at any time of the year. Then it goes a bit along the canal.
Highlights:
- Varying landscape
