The former border watchtower south of Boizenburg was once part of the GDR border security regime and stood at a checkpoint/crossing on the Elbberg. It was part of the five-kilometer exclusion zone, through which residents were only allowed to enter with a pass; the tower served to observe and control passenger and freight traffic. Today, it is preserved and incorporated into the Elbberg Museum in Boizenburg as a memorial to the inner-German border.

In my opinion, in moderate traffic, the road is clearly the better alternative.

The K26 is - at least on weekends - perfectly navigable ... little traffic and beautiful waves :-)

The tower of the church is one of the oldest in the Lüneburg district. An architectural monument of Lower Saxony importance: the tower of the St. Vitus Church in Barskamp. In some places the walls are more than two meters thick. Built stone by stone in the 10th century. The west side was repaired with red brick over the centuries because of falling boulders.

The town hall of Boizenburg was built in 1712. It is located in the town centre of Boizenburg/Elbe, directly on the market square in the immediate vicinity of the town church of St. Mary.
