Deutschland liegt hinter mir

150 km I 0:09:20 I 690 km I 1:14:28 I Itzehoe – Aabenraa, DK

Der erwartete Sonnenschein machte sich bei der Abfahrt aus Itzehoe rar.  Erst mal geht es wieder hoch. Von wegen, norddeutsches Tiefland. Bis ins dänische Aabenraa sind dann immerhin 709 Höhenmeter zusammen gekommen. Viel rauf und viel runter.

Aber vorher musste ich unter dem Nord-Ostsee-Kanal drunter durch, um nach Schleswig,

und von da nach Rendsburg,

bis an den Strand in Aabenraa.

Into Denmark

Today I left the plains and went up into the hilly grounds of Schleswig-Holstein. Cycling was fine. I passed Oeversee (oversea).

Again this leg offered some relaxing sections with only 709 meters attitude difference. Starting from sea level and ending there again. Today I noticed that the number of road kills has reduced drastically. During the three initial legs there were plenty of dead hedgehogs, bird carcasses and broken German banners alongside the roads. Today there were nearly none. Interesting but not empiric. Will continue to observe this phenomenon.

My bike is still good in shape and I am optimistic that this will stay the same during my trip. Today I saw my next dream machine, a dragon bike.
