Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Crooked Wall Area 4
Here the ground is flat, wet and green, and a long, low bank runs across it for no obvious reason. The bank is the Krummwall, the Crooked Wall, one of the oldest sections of the Danevirke, the great system of ramparts that the Danes built across the neck of the Jutland peninsula against their southern neighbours. The first banks go back to the early Middle Ages, and the line was added to and rebuilt for centuries, in timber, earth and brick, until the nineteenth century. UNESCO recognised the Danevirke, together with the Viking town of Hedeby, in 2018.

Planning note
Crooked Wall Area 4 is where the day begins. Next is National Park Wadden Sea Schleswig-Holstei.
2. National Park Wadden Sea Niedersachsen
Here the Wadden Sea comes right up against the dyke. This is the coast of the Wurster Nordseeküste, between the Weser and Elbe estuaries, a country of low sea walls, drained farmland and wide skies, and the mudflats outside the dyke are part of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park. Together with the Dutch and Danish parts of the Wadden Sea, the area is a UNESCO World Heritage site, valued above all for the sheer scale of the tidal flats and the millions of birds that pass through on migration. When the tide goes out, it goes a very long way.
