The VW dealership Schr\u00f6er, just around the corner, calls. - Our drive shaft has been delivered. So we pack up quickly and are on site shortly afterwards. - The team at the dealership is friendly and thoroughly committed. But you can also tell that our bus is not the kind of thing that comes in here every day. They quickly whip out their cell phones and start taking pictures. We take it in our stride, but the master is shocked and ends the photo session abruptly. So it's off to work. But the installation takes much longer than the removal. But we've waited two days, so what's a few hours? - Shortly after midday, the time has come. Whether VW will shrug off the warranty remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>So we could set off if it weren't for our hunger. So we pay a quick visit to the local bakery and butcher in F\u00fcrstenau. Suitably fortified, we then set off northwards. Today we are heading for the Hanseatic city of Hamburg.<\/p>\n<p>But first, it's another \u00bd hour overland from F\u00fcrstenau. Fields and meadows line our path. \"Lots of countryside here\" - Every now and then we see signposts pointing to the Megalithic Road. And suddenly, at the edge of a country lane, I think I see such a collection of stones. Here in the north of the Osnabr\u00fcck region, north-east of Bippen, there is an unusual stone formation between the forest and the field. I brake and reverse and yes, I have seen correctly. I turn off onto the dirt track and stop. We are standing in front of one of the two Hekese megalithic tombs. Two approximately four thousand year old graves, which were used as collective graves and are connected by a row of small stones.<\/p>\n<p>The burial chambers are particularly impressive due to their sheer size of around 20 meters.<\/p>\n<p>As the burial chambers date back to the Neolithic period, they must be at least 5000 years old. I am always impressed by what these people were capable of despite their limited resources. Some of these rocks weigh several tons. If you are in the area, you should definitely pay a visit to these tombs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8220;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][et_pb_image src=&#8220;https:\/\/www.planbwagen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2-141.jpg&#8220; alt=&#8220;planBwagen &#8211; vanlife in Hamburg direkt an der Elbe&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8220;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][et_pb_image src=&#8220;https:\/\/www.planbwagen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/3-129.jpg&#8220; alt=&#8220;Abdeckhauben-Shop.de&#8220; title_text=&#8220;3&#8243; align=&#8220;center&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8220;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][et_pb_image src=&#8220;https:\/\/www.planbwagen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4-118.jpg&#8220; alt=&#8220;MSC vom Anleger an der Elbe planBwagen &#8211; vanlife in Hamburg direkt an der Elbe&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;]<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr uns geht es weiter\u00a0Richtung Hamburg. &#8211; Wollen wir hier doch das N\u00fctzliche mit dem Angenehmen verbinden. &#8211; Was verbindet ihr mit dem Tor\u00a0zur Welt? Ich finde die altdeutsche Bezeichnung &#8222;Friee un Hansestadt Hamborg&#8220; sagt doch schon alles. &#8222;Frei und Hanse&#8220; &#8211; Torgit und ich sind uns einig. Wenn in Richtung Elbtunnel der Stadtteil Waltershof, mit seinen Hafen- und Industrieanlagen in Sicht kommt, l\u00f6st dies \u00e4hnlich viel Emotionen aus,\u00a0wie wenn wir nach einer langen Reise \u00fcber die K\u00f6lner S\u00fcdbr\u00fccke fahren und zur Rechten der Dom auftaucht. Doch w\u00e4hrend in K\u00f6ln Heimatgef\u00fchle hervorbrechen,\u00a0sind es in Hamburg\u00a0ganz anders\u00a0Gef\u00fchle.

The guys not only make great custom-made covers (we know them from our garden bench) but also waterproof bags, awning fabrics (also for old Bullis) and much more. When I see their sign in production, I'm not sure what else they make. Please don't call me sexist now. The sign hangs in a production facility and is pure motivation. I think it fits in perfectly with Hamburg.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everything here is made to measure. And that's exactly what we need. Because we want to have appropriate bags made for our folding e-bikes. We are curious to see if it will work out as expected. Measurements are quickly taken.<\/p>\n<p>So much for the useful - and what about the pleasant? - Of course, we want to pay a visit to the Elbe. So we drive to the banks of the Elbe to a small, cozy beach below a lighthouse, complete with parking lot. As there is no more space available at the nearby campsite, we decide not only to enjoy the sun here, but also to spend the night later. We are rewarded: the sunset over the Elbe and the lighthouse is magnificent.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section fb_built=&#8220;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;][et_pb_image src=&#8220;https:\/\/www.planbwagen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1-143.jpg&#8220; alt=&#8220;Butch &#8211; VW T6 Campervan &#8211; delta4x4 &#8211; Spacecamper vor Gro\u00dfsteingr\u00e4ber Hekese&#8220; title_text=&#8220;Gro\u00dfsteingr\u00e4ber Hekese&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; hover_enabled=&#8220;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8220;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220;] Kurz nach acht, am heutigen Morgen, kommt die hei\u00df ersehnte Nachricht.
