Fairytale Buxtehude: Cycle in the footsteps of the hare and the hedgehog. The fairytale town on the River Este captivates with its picturesque old town and the beautiful Flethanlage, which is considered the oldest man-made harbor in Northern Europe. Where once hares and hedgehogs raced, there is also plenty to discover outside the city center with the Estetal and Neukloster Forst.

Simply fabulous: In the Hanseatic and fairytale town of Buxtehude, hares and hedgehogs once ran the most famous race in history. Numerous exhibits on fairy tales and regional history can be viewed at the Buxtehude Museum. The tour continues via Westmoor and Altklostermoor to Neukloster - known for the largest Whitsun market in northern Germany - and through Neukloster Forst, which is considered the most natural forest in the Stader Geest. The tour continues to Nindorf and from there through the idyllic Estetal valley to Ovelgönne. Golf enthusiasts should stop off at the golf courses in Daensen and Immenbeck, guest players are welcome here - please note the course conditions. Ovelgönne is home to the over 300-year-old water mill, which also functions as a wedding venue. Flour is milled and bread is baked here on special days. If you want to follow in the footsteps of hares and hedgehogs for a little longer, follow the hare and hedgehog trail in Buxtehude. It runs through the town from Wettloopsweg in the south to Has'- und Igeltwiete in the north past 14 hare and hedgehog sculptures.
