A very nice little harbor in Bremervörde near the Vörder See lake.

Bremervörde Harbor is located at the end of the Oste federal waterway at kilometer 0.2 LU. (The signage currently still shows the old value of kilometer 8.65.) From the Elbe near Neuhaus, the Oste River flows for approximately 68 kilometers through green marshland, with numerous curves. A pleasant cruise takes in numerous towns and boat docks. At high tide, Bremervörde Harbor can be reached in approximately 6 hours. Excellent restaurants and a variety of shopping opportunities are located near the well-equipped harbor and in the city center. Entry to Bremervörde Harbor is only possible at high tide (up to 1.70 m draft). The harbor does not dry out; only at the entrance does the water depth reach approximately 0.60 m at low tide.

Lake Vörder See can be admired on foot or by bike. This wonderful attraction is worth visiting at any time of year. You can relax there, ride a pedal boat, visit the restaurants, visit the Park of the Senses, and work out on the fitness equipment. There's a lovely adventure playground for children. Public restrooms are available. Directly across from the village is a camper van park. From here, you can take a turn towards Gräpel and the ferry.

Small harbor that you should like to look at

For me, locks themselves are not particularly nice to look at. This lock, seen from the bridge, embedded in the forest, with the water in front of it, this lock and its surroundings are a special highlight.

About ten kilometers north of Bremervörde, the Oste meanders through a gentle geest landscape. Far away from large settlements and traffic, the river valley is ideal for hiking. The ferry in Graepel fits in with this. When passengers on the west bank, across from the “Zum Osteblick” inn, ring the bell, the innkeeper and ferryman Stefan Plate becomes active and puts passengers, bicycles and sometimes a car across the river. This happens just as gently as it is noiseless: the prahm, built around 1918, is pulled over the water by hand with the help of a chain anchored in the ground.
