Brandenburgische Elbtalaue Floodplains

Highlight • Natural

There is a beautiful floodplain landscape on both sides of the Elbe. On the Brandenburg side, however, the cycle path is nicer because most of the time you can cycle directly on the Elbe dike, from where you have the most beautiful view.

Elbe groynes in Brandenburgische Elbtalaue

Highlight • River

The Elbe Cycle Path runs very close to the banks of the Elbe. The groynes are accessible here from the Elbe dike. From the groynes you have a very nice view of the Elbe. Also a very nice place to take a break or enjoy the sunset.

Charon sculpture on the Elbe dike

Highlight • Monument

"Charaon was created as the first major free work of art. The exploration of the theme of "Plowman and Death" blossomed here somewhat beyond the scope of the text. In the context of the theme of death, this vision of the ferryman to the underworld emerged. He has no skull-like face, he is not frightening, but very serious and dignified. Priestly in his appearance, he rather takes away the fear of the crossing. One does not doubt or despair of him. Almost benevolently, he takes us away, inexorably following the laws of eternity. I think everything will be alright on his chariot; the sickle is meant only for the body, not for us." Bernd Streiter, 1994

Brandenburg Elbe River Floodplain Biosphere Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Cycling through the Elbe valley and letting nature work its magic on you is simply wonderful. If you take the time and behave calmly, you can observe many animals, because the biodiversity is particularly high here. Different bird species are native here and migratory birds like to settle down on their journey. Elbe beavers, otters and wild boar can also sometimes be seen.

Elbholz Floodplain

Highlight • Natural

Beautiful meadow landscape on the banks of the Elbe. The area can be reached via the Elberadweg, which leads here from Pevestorf to Schnackenburg (in Pevestorf and Schnackenburg there are ferries across the Elbe during the day, with which you can cross the river cheaply). The area is characterized by forest, meadows and many brackish areas. There are many large, old oak trees in the area, e.g. the (now dead) royal oak Elbholz (named after a visit by King George V in 1865).

This wonderful meadow landscape is one of my favorite areas in Wendland: Lots of nature, beautiful scenery, tranquility, good chances of seeing wild animals and rare birds and a beautiful cycle path that runs mostly off-road along the Elbe dike.

I also use the area often and enjoy taking pictures of the starry sky. Since light pollution is very low here, great astrophotographs can be taken in the clear, moonless sky.

Schwedenschanze viewing tower on the Höhbeck

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Schwedenschanze on the Höhbeck is a historical fortification that got its name from its use by Swedish troops during the Thirty Years' War. Today the Schwedenschanze is an interesting destination for those interested in history and hikers who want to immerse themselves in history and enjoy nature at the same time. The observation tower offers you a fantastic all-round view of the southern section of the Lower Saxony Elbe Valley Biosphere Reserve. From the platform you can see the impressive Elbe, which winds through the landscape. The riparian forests, wet meadows and sand banks that surround Europe's fourth largest river are a habitat for numerous bird species, insects and the Elbe beaver.
