This shapes the Altes Land: Fruit cultivation and shipping. The proximity to the Elbe and the major city of Hamburg have shaped the Altes Land for centuries. Whether in spring during the cherry blossom season or in summer and autumn during harvest time, visitors can discover many attractions here. Above all, the enchanting landscape, as well as cultural events and its sights, from the lighthouse to the Arp Schnitger organ. The Altes Land is a great and unique region. It extends from the gates of Hamburg for over 30 km south of the Elbe to the Hanseatic city of Stade. The area includes the entire municipality of Jork, the collective municipality of Lühe and the Rübke district of Neu Wulmstorf in Lower Saxony. As well as the Hamburg districts of Neuenfelde, C.ranz and Francop. The tributaries of the Elbe – the Schwinge, the Lühe and the Este – divide the Altes Land into three sections: the first, second and third mile from west to east.

Here are the highlights; From Stade, along the Schwingedeich and in Wöhrden, we rode on the Butendiek (discover a new route). Great views of Stade, the St. Cosmae church tower, as well as the Schwinge and the surrounding 💚 landscape can be seen from here. Great photos of the Schwinge swing bridge, as well as of the power pylons can be photographed here. The route continues here to the Motor - und Yachtclub Stade e.V., great insights into the yacht club can be seen here. Here you are in a dead end and have to ride back. Also suitable and recommended as a hiking trail 👍🏼.

The Lühe pier is a popular destination for young and old. Many snack stalls invite you to linger, there is something for every taste. Tolle Blicke hat man auf die Elbe und die umliegende Natur. A large playground is located in the immediate vicinity of the snack stalls, as well as many park benches with a view of the Elbe. On the Lühe pier, there is also a snack bar with tasty snacks and drinks. The Lühe Schulau ferry sails from here across to the other side of the Elbe.

The dykes on the Lühe are listed as historical monuments. The villages on both sides of the Lühe: Mittelnkirchen Ort, Mittelnkirchen Hohenfelde, Neuenkirchen east of the river and Bergfried and Guderhandviertel west of the river are typical, historic dyke-strip villages of the Altes Land – just like Leeswig, Königreich, Hove and Moorende on the Este –. They follow the curves of the river, as do the dyke and the road. The farmhouses face the dyke with their decorated gables, separated from each other by ditches, with the typical front gardens. The farm buildings, orchards, the historic strips of the agricultural land extend behind the houses in long strips.
