A visit to the former manor house Gut Bissenbrook is also worthwhile to get an insight into life in the countryside in the 19th century.
Cultural highlights include the annual jazz festival "Jazz an de Waterkant" and the play "Die Rantzauer - Eine Familiengeschichte" (The Rantzauers - A Family History), which is performed every summer. If you are interested in art, you should definitely plan a visit to the Museum Pinneberg, which houses an extensive collection of modern works of art.
For culinary delights, we recommend the traditional North German fish market or dinner in one of the many cosy restaurants along the river Krückau.
Outdoors, you can go cycling or boating in fine weather. In winter, you can visit the nearby ski resorts or go ice skating at the ice rink in the city centre.
If it rains, there is still plenty to do - such as a visit to the "Cinemaxx" cinema or a round of bowling at the Elmshorn Bowling Arena.
Overall, Elmshorn is definitely worth a visit and offers something for everyone. Whether you are interested in history, art, nature or good food - this charming town has it all!
