Elbe Cycle Route - Section from Cuxhaven to Freiburg

Kugelbake → Am Hafen

Sea breeze, salty air, wind, and seagull cries characterize this section of the Elbe Cycle Route. Here, the route shows its maritime side. Cuxhaven and Brunsbüttel form the central locations on both sides of the Elbe in this section. At times, the opposite Elbe bank disappears behind the horizon. The high dikes with many sheep gates testify to a long tradition of coastal protection. Fishing has left its traces in the towns just as much as seafaring.
