The gateway to the North Sea

The maritime flair makes the port city on the Elbe something very special. Famous sights are not only Germany's largest seaport, but also the landing stages, the fish market with its fish auction hall and the historic Speicherstadt, where merchants used to receive goods from all over the world. On a walk through the old and warehouse districts, you will get to know this side of the metropolis at first hand.

With just under 2 million inhabitants, Germany's second-largest city is shaped by water. It lies about 100 km inland from the mouth of the Elbe into the North Sea and is crossed by the Bille and Alster rivers. The city's canals and canals are spanned by more than 2,000 footbridges and bridges and surrounded by parks that invite you to take a stroll. Particularly worth seeing are the park „Planten un Blomen“ and the fruit-growing areas of the Vier- und Marschlande to the south of the city.

The Port of Hamburg is one of the largest transshipment ports in the world. Sea-going vessels arrive in the city from the North Sea via the Lower Elbe or from the Baltic Sea via the Kiel Canal, where almost 300 berths are available for the 8,000 or so ships that call here every year. The best way to explore this gigantic traffic hub is to take a harbour tour or visit one of the numerous museum ships.

Sporty and active in and around Hamburg

Numerous parks and forests, the Elbe and Alster rivers and the harbour invite you to take entertaining tours in and around Hamburg. No matter whether you want to go on foot or by bike: On the following pages you will find some suggestions for successful excursions in the Hanseatic city.

    Schöne und abwechslungsreiche Runde. Achtung: Der Streckenabschnitt am Ende des Tangstedter Forsts über die Segeberger Chaussee existiert nicht mehr. Deshalb hier einen kleinen Umweg. Hatte dabei auch noch direkt einen Platten😅 Aber schnell den Schlauch gewechselt und weiter ging’s. Vielen Dank für den Track✌️

    Den Teil der Wanderung den wir gemacht habe war Super. Insbesondere der mittlere südliche Teil ist ist geprägt von erstaunlich kühlen Wäldern und einer urwüchsigen Landschaft die den Eindruck vermittelt wie die Flusslandschaft mal früher aussah. Wir sind nur den mittlren Teil gegangen. Für einen heißen Tag eine angenehme Abkühlung

    Schöne Route. Aber kurz vor Kilometer 63 sollte man nicht in den Wald abbiegen, sondern durch die Stadt fahren. Siehe mein angehängtes Bild. Da nicht die blaue Route, sondern die rote Route nehmen. Im Wald war sehr sehr sandiger Boden.

    Die schwimmende Brücke ist immer ein schönes Ausflugsziel. Besonders die Kinder finden die gluckernde und schwankende Schwimmbrücke toll. Hier sind zwei Panoramen, die ich 2019 mit einer Kugelkamera aufgenommen habe: https://www.pano.szenerien.de/Panono/Schwimmbr%C3%BCcke%20Ahrensburger%20Tunneltal/index.html

    Sehr schöne Wanderung, vor allem unter der Woche, absolut menschenleer. Die kurzen Asphaltpassagen (Panzerring) werden durch das "historische Gefühl" absolut ausgeglichen. Vielen Dank für den Impuls.

    Mittlerweile kommt man gut durch Wilhelmsburg, aber in Harburg ist die Brücke zwischen Lotsenkai und Konsul-Ritter-Straße gesperrt, daher muss man anders fahren. Später kann man sich aber den Schlenker durch Neuwiedenthal sparen und stattdessen geradeaus am Moorburger Hinterdeich weiterfahren. Für mich waren viele neue Wege dabei, Danke Lady Luck !

    Our route draft for the Dresden-Magdeburg section is here on Outdooractive - Elberadweg from Dresden to Magdeburg. Cycling Germany - even after three decades, the Elbe remains a joy to ride and a brilliant example of how to do cycle tourism right - infrastructure, signage, information. Happy memories :)

    Sehr schöner Rundweg. Leider habe ich einen Abschnitt verpasst und mich dann auch nochmal verlaufen, weil der Weg unscheinbar und zugewachsen war…
