Closure and alternative route on stage 8

Due to the closure of a swing bridge, navigation through the overseas ports of Bremerhaven is currently not possible! We recommend that all cyclists turn right on Lohmannstrasse into Schleusenstrasse, then left onto Barkhausenstrasse to the “Roter Sand” customs gate and continue along Franziusstrasse and Brückenstrasse to the “Am Erzhafen” intersection. The closure is expected to last until 2027. The alternative route has already been adjusted in the route information and the GPX track for stage 8.
