The 35-kilometre tour starts in Uetersen and first leads to the monastery park on the edge of the town. Here, the beautiful grounds enchant with pretty flowers and a small stream. From the monastery, the route continues along the Pinnau to one of the oldest swing bridges in Germany. When the bridge turns, the way is clear for boats and it is hard to imagine how this was done by hand in the past.
Haselau welcomes cyclists from afar with its church tower. The route continues through the flat marshes via the village of Heist to Holm, where you can take a break at the Holmer Sandberge. The landscape in the Holmer Sandberge nature reserve is characterized by large areas of sand and heathland. On warm summer days, a dip in the Appener See lake is a great way to cool off. The route then runs through small villages and past green meadows to Uetersen. A visit to the Rosarium and a slice of cake at the Parkhotel Rosarium are the perfect end to the tour.
