Jork is known for its apple orchards and the annual apple blossom in spring. Visitors can enjoy the smell of fresh apples or even go and pick some themselves. Another highlight are the numerous 17th century half-timbered houses that stretch along the narrow streets. If it rains, it is worth visiting the fruit farmers' museum or the local history museum.

Stade, on the other hand, has a long history as a port town and was an important trading centre during the Middle Ages. The charming market square with its old buildings is a popular meeting place for tourists as well as locals. In summer, various events take place here, such as the Old Town Festival or the Wine & Pleasure Festival.

For cultural highlights, don't miss a visit to the Schwinge Estuary - there are many art galleries to explore here! This region also has a lot to offer in terms of culinary delights: Be sure to try the delicious locally caught fish or taste a typical North German "Grünkohl".

If you like to be outdoors, Jork offers many opportunities for hiking and cycling through the picturesque landscapes around the river Este as well as through the Alte Land. In summer, you can also take a canoe trip on the Este or join a sailing trip.

In summary, Jork and Stade is an ideal destination for anyone who likes to explore historical sites, enjoy nature and sample culinary delights. Visit this charming region in the north of Germany - our Travel Guide will help you!

    geparkt haben wir auf dem kostenlosen P+R Parkplatz am Bahnhof Buxtehude. Diese Route führt wirklich durch ewig lange Obstfelder - das wurde fast schon langweilig 😉 gefühlt kilometerlang nur Obstbäume. Statt Waldautobahn halt eine Obstautobahn ... zur Blütezeit muss das ein Traum sein ... Ansonsten abwechslungsreich mit vielen kleinen Ortschaften und ein Stück an der Elbe entlang - war schön!

    GPX heruntergeladen für meine Offline Map und los ging die Tour um 10:00 Uhr von Stade aus. Es war nicht so einfach bei 31 Grad die Tour zu machen :), aber es ist eine tolle Strecke, mit sehr vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten und vielen Pausen-Möglichkeiten. Mir hat die Tour wirklich gut gefallen. Ich habe selten so viel Obst auf einer Tour gegessen. Um 18:00 Uhr war ich wieder zurück am Auto, mit 73 Kilometer auf dem Tacho. Danke für diese tolle Tour.
