You are always quite close to the water here and have a good view over the Elbe. Very nice section!

beautiful section, it is oppressive to imagine that a life-threateningly fortified border once ran here. All the more beautiful that you can enjoy the preserved nature here.

The 4th stage of the Elbhöhenweg also leads here, which I can highly recommend. All information about the Elbhöhenweg can be found at the following link: https://www.wanderbares-deutschland.de/wege/alle-wege/elb-hoehenweg-etappe-4-von-hitzacker-bis-neu-darchau-e82d5a097d (Status: 02.05.2026).
