The 12 km long hike leads through the romantic Elbe town of Hitzacker to the Elbe. Through the biosphere reserve on the Elbe on hardly visible paths with many treacherous biting insects, it goes to the distinctly smelling sewage treatment plant, then uphill into the forest on the Elbe slope. The return path also leads through the forest until just before Hitzacker.
