Attractions and Places To See around Beckdorf - Top 20

The port of the Hanseatic city of Buxtehude is the navigable endpoint of the Este, a tributary of the Elbe. Mills and factories once thrived there. The port is the heart of the Hanseatic city of Buxtehude. Until the 19th century, it provided an important connection for long-distance traffic via the Lower Elbe. Industry was established in Buxtehude because of the port. The railway, which began operating in 1881, and later the road connection, displaced shipping traffic in Buxtehude. Around 1980, part of the port was built over with the harbor bridge. Nevertheless, historical buildings have been preserved, such as the customs office built in 1870 at Moortorstraße 2, which is very beautiful to look at 👍🏼. The waters of the Este once powered the Flethmühle (Fleth Mill) in the city center of Buxtehude. Below that point, the Fleth was tide-dependent and navigable for barges of up to 100 tons until 1972.

Nevertheless, several historic buildings have been preserved, such as the customs office built in 1870.

The port was once the heart of Buxtehude. The Hanseatic city was the first city to be built around a central harbor basin. Cargo ships anchored in the harbor basin in front of the city.

Allter Hansehafen Buxtehude (joining the Hanseatic League in 1363) not only shines with barge trips and tide-dependent piers for passenger ships. It is the navigable end point of the Elbe tributary Este. Mills and factories settled on it.

In the Rosengarten state forest, 1750 m west of the forestry office, stands the Karlstein on a hill above a steep ridge, a mighty, medium-sized, reddish-grey granite (>1.9 x 2.5 x 2.2 m) that caused astonishment centuries ago. It was less the size of the stone than the deep grooves and the "imprints" of horseshoes that early on sparked interest. Stones with horseshoe marks can be found in various places. The nearest stone was in Regesbostel, Kr. Harburg. One should remember the Rosstrappe in the Harz mountains and the Bickelstein near Wittingen. There is no factual explanation for these marks yet. A few meters from the Karlstein lies a second stone of the same material, a fragment broken off from the Karlstein. https://www.hamburg.de/geotope/3861972/karlstein/
