Unterm Berge Trail along the River Elbe

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path is easy to walk almost all year round. Not to be used in extreme floods. You can also use it for a circular hike around the side arm. The benches are very good for a moment of silence.

Hiddo-Steg pedestrian bridge over the Jeetzel

Highlight • Bridge

From the Hiddo jetty you have a beautiful view of the Elbe and Jeetzel. Its striking height characterizes the cityscape and allows larger vessels to navigate the river.
The wooden bridge was named after the Frisian knight Hiddo Kauchen.

A slightly longer walk through the old town island of Hitzacker on the Elbe (and along the Jeetzel) during the Hitzacker Summer Music Festival, the oldest chamber music festival in Germany at 80 years old, offering high-quality classical music over nine days. Hitzacker's small old town is charming; it's impossible to get lost, and you'll find many romantic little corners …

The circular route near Hitzacker begins at a parking lot and leads mostly on narrow forest paths to Hitzacker and there are lots of beautiful views of the Elbe and Jeeztel. 😍

After the Field Lily Trail, we're craving a good cup of ☕ and a slice of 🍰. So, off to Hitzacker. We find what we're looking for in this slightly alternative town. But the humid day also made me crave a nice cold Hefeweizen 🍺. So I quickly ordered the non-alcoholic version and slurped it down. Delicious!

Funny, 4 years ago tomorrow 🐕🚶‍♀️ were here (but I hadn't forgotten).
We're going for a walk with the dog and 👀 small town.
Perfect for 🌧 weather and so that my second pair 🥾 doesn't get completely soaked 🤭.

You should be sure-footed on this path. In the 3rd photo you can see the narrow path that you have to go down. Alternatively, there are also options further to the left, which are certainly easier to walk.
The nice thing about the round in winter is that you can always see the Elbe and the floodplain through the trees …
