Elbe beach on the Falkensteiner Ufer

Highlight • Beach

It's worth taking a break here. You can relax on the beach, watch the ships and there are drinks too.

Falkensteiner Ufer Beach and Shipwrecks

Highlight • Beach

Uwe attracts everyone's attention on the Falkenstein shore. The ship capsized in December 1975 in thick fog. Today, at low tide, Uwe's foredeck protrudes from the water. Another eye-catcher is the Finnish shipwreck Polstjernan, which caught fire in the 1920s on the way to England.

Blankenese Upper Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Since November 29, 1984, the Oberfeuer Blankenese lighthouse, together with the Unterfeuer Blankenese lighthouse, has formed the leading light line Blankenese for ships sailing up the Elbe. The first lighthouse, built in 1983, was in operation until 2020 and was then replaced by another and demolished because the leading light line was relocated 500 m to the southeast as part of the deepening of the Elbe.
