Alternatively, you can start south of the shipyard along the Stör towards the Elbe, past the Stör barrage to Krey's Deichladen, which is behind the Elbe dyke.

Here in Glückstadt you can rent bicycles at the tourist information office for 7 EUR per day or EUR 30 per week, with which not only the dikes can be explored excellently. Children's bicycles can also be rented there.
