    Tolle Tour. Allerdings müssen zwei Punkte dringend erwähnt werden. 1. die Fähre in Arnis ist eingestellt. Das wussten wir, daher sind wir von Olpenitz aus direkt in Kappeln über die Klappbrücke und von dort an der Schlei entlang nach Arnis gefahren. Wir haben die Tour in entgegengesetzte Richtung gefahren. Das wir wichtig für Punkt zwei. 2. Die Steilküste zwischen Waabs und Damp wurde vermutlich beim Sturm im Herbst 2023 stark beschädigt. Der schmale Trampelpfad an vielen Stellen komplett weggespült. Inzwischen haben sich zwar neue Pfade „gebildet“ aber diese erkennt der Unwissende erst spät. So dass man wirklich teilweise sehr gefährlich auf eine „Klippe“ zufährt. Wer nicht schnell genug reagiert kann leicht abstürzen. Fährt man von Nord nach Süd, ist die Lebensgefahr auch ausgeschildert. Kommt man vonSüden , wie wir, weist nichts darauf hin. Der Abschnitt ist wirklich gefährlich und wir mussten unsere Ebikes oft über den Strand und durch Schotter und Gehölz schieben. Ansonsten aber eigentlich eine tolle Tour, die wir in ähnlicher Weise schon 2020 und 2022 gemacht haben

    Auferstehungskirche [Kirche] Die Auferstehungkirche in Ellenberg wurde 1967/68 errichtet und erinnert etwas an den Architekturstil von Le Corbusier. Der freistehende, moderne 42 m hohe Glockenturm erinnert an die vielfach freistehenden hölzernen Glockenstapeln bei nordischen Kirchen. Wir bedanken uns für den äußerst freundlichen Empfang. !! - https://www.kirchenkreis-schleswig-flensburg.de/gemeinden/kreisgebiet-schleswig-flensburg/ellenberg.html

    Sehr schöne Tour, richtig nett war es auch auf dem Hinnerksen Hof. Dort begrüßte und ein älterer Herr und zeigte mit Stolz (zu Recht) seinen Rosengarten. Zurück ging es mit tollem Blick auf die Schlei
