    The route starts in the popular excursion spot Kollmar. The view of the wide Elbe and the large ships never gets boring.

    Racing alongside the big ships, the route follows the Elbe to the Krückau. Here, the Krückau sluice offers another nice view of the Elbe before the route heads inland to the orchards. Upon reaching Neuendorf, the path takes you through the Kronsnest district, where you can discover the smallest ferry in Germany.

    From here, you partly use agricultural tracks to race through the vegetable fields. Along the way, you will also find self-service shops offering fruit for sale directly from the fields - it doesn't get any fresher.

    On the way back to the starting point, you still have the chance to discover the local pollard willows along the roadside. Before returning to Kollmar, the route leads you along a side road past rustic and well-maintained farmhouses to the well-deserved refreshment of your feet in the Elbe.

    Author’s recommendation

    Insider tip: Just use the smallest ferry in Germany in Kronsnest to also discover the cycling routes of the Seester Marsch before you continue cycling on the Glück routes.

    Roadbook

    From Kollmar, the path initially follows the Elbe along a well-paved asphalt route. Upon reaching the Krückau sluice, you can enjoy the view over the Elbe and Krückau. Please do not cross over the sluice but keep it to your right and continue along the path until you turn left onto the bicycle bridge. From here, you follow a scenic path that is far from any roads and can be enjoyed in complete peace. Then, turn right onto a side road that takes you directly to the small village of Fleien, where you also turn right at the end of the street to get to Kronsnest. In Kronsnest, you can discover the smallest ferry in Germany, which is signposted during peak season. At the following fork, take the left branch and continue along the quiet road to Neuendorf. Once there, you can use the sidewalks to cross the village. Behind the inn Matjens Landhaus, turn right and follow the comfortably rideable side road for several kilometers. Before reaching a main road, you have to turn left onto an inconspicuous but signposted branch. This “path” has a grass surface and is accordingly bumpy, but there are several benches where you can take a break. At the end of the path, turn right and once again you get onto a scenic, paved path and follow it for a few hundred meters until you zigzag onto another path. Crossing a small bridge, you reach the bike path of the B431 and take it for a short stretch until you cross the B431 to follow a side road back towards Kollmar. Before crossing the dike again, turn right and follow this side road directly back to the center of Kollmar.

    Equipment

    In summer, due to the lack of trees in the marsh, light clothing is recommended. In the off-seasons the opposite is usually true, as the wind sweeps unimpeded across the land, making weatherproof clothing advisable.
