The beautiful and varied river landscape of the Elbe lies between Hamburg and Hitzacker. A few minutes' drive from Hamburg, the journey begins through a region whose landscape is shaped by the river Elbe. The flat river landscape enables extensive cycling, hiking and boat tours, for example on the Elbe cycle path. Churches, museums and art galleries look forward to your visit and events along the river. Products made on site from the Arche Höfe and cafés on the Elbe invite you to try them.
