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 Beach Path (Elbe Riverbank Trail)

Highlight • Trail

The path runs beneath the picturesque Süllberg hill. To the south, there are magnificent views of the Elbe River. The beach path is part of the Elbe Riverbank Trail and the European long-distance hiking trail E9.

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.

So many possibilities: From Lühe by ferry to Wedel and then towards Hamburg.
And when, in addition to the great houses, you can also see a beluga landing...

September 1, 2023,Von Teufelsbrück zum Willkomm-Höft in Wedel

We cycled to the Schulauer Fährhaus at Willkomm-Höft. Here the ships traveling upstream towards Hamburg are musically welcomed and musically farewell downstream.
Afterwards I explored the Schulau area on foot and ate ice cream. We went back to Teufelsbrück on (almost) the same route.

July 30, 2023,2023.07.30 Fischmarkt - Willkomm-Höft

Our first trip to the North Sea goes to the Wilkomm-Höft, along the Elbe.
After the stay and a little shopping at the fish market, we start. The weather is still playing along.
We make the first stop at the Museumhafen Övelgönne. Since it's still quite early, the restaurants and cafes around are relatively empty. That totally changed on the …

I used the not-so-perfect summer day for a bike ride that I've always wanted to do. It's better for cycling anyway when it's not that hot. In my opinion, the banks of the Elbe are always worth a visit. With the bike you can make a good route. On the way there are always opportunities to take a short break, …

July 24, 2022,Von Wedel zu den Landungsbrücken

The stretch from Wedel to Blankenese is absolutely worth a tour, after that it gets difficult because the paths are too narrow and the bike has to be pushed.
And on Sundays when the weather is nice, many people come up with the same idea 😉
