This shapes the Alte Land: Fruit cultivation and shipping. The proximity to the Elbe and the major city of Hamburg have shaped the Alte 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 Alte Land is a great and unique region. It extends from the gates of Hamburg 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 Alte Land into three sections, namely the first, second, and third mile from west to east.
