The geographical location of Mittelkirchen is particularly attractive: the village lies between the Elbe and the Alte Land, an idyllic region with numerous orchards. The landscape here is characterised by rivers, lakes and forests - perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling.

The region also has a lot to offer in terms of culture: Visit the historic Agathenburg Castle or the Schwedenspeicher Museum in Stade. Another highlight are the many events that take place here - from the traditional apple blossom festival to the Christmas market, there is always something to experience.

For culinary connoisseurs, there is one thing in particular to try: The famous Altländer Apfelsaftkulturhaus! Here you can learn everything about the cultivation of apples and of course try out delicious products. Fish lovers will also get their money's worth - be sure to try the fresh catch from the Elbe!

If it ever rains, we recommend a visit to the Solemio leisure pool in Stade or a tour of the Klimahaus Bremerhaven.

Where is it most beautiful? Definitely on the Elbe at sunset! But walks through the blossoming orchards in spring are also a dream.

Overall, Mittelkirchen/Stade as a destination offers many possibilities for a varied holiday. Our Travel Guide will help you discover the most beautiful places and activities!

    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.

    Sehr schöne Route am Elbdeich, durch die Apfelplantagen und an der Bahnstrecke. Die Innenstadt von Stade ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

    Schöne Runde im Alten Land, gut dass auch Buxtehude und Stade einbezogen wurden. Alle wichtigen Punkte dabei, schöne Fotos. Da das Tourenthema Altes Land ist, würde ich die An- und Abfart in Hamburg aus dem Track entfernen und einfach bei "Anleger Rüschpark" oder "Dampferbrücke Finkenwerder" beginnen oder enden lassen.
