    Was für eine schöne Tour. Wir sind in Otterndorf gestartet und gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gefahren. Wir haben für diese Tour, mit vielen Pausen und schönen Sehenswürdigkeiten fast 7 Stunden gebraucht. Die Beschilderung ist Top. Das Handy als Wegbeschreibung hatten wir nicht gebraucht. Danke an Cuxland-Tourismus für diese schöne Tour.
