You have fantastic views of the Elbe and the Port of Hamburg from Finkenwerder. A great cycling and hiking route runs along here, and many excursion boats invite you for a harbor tour. Highly recommended and interesting at the same time 👍🏼.

Saint Matthias is one of the twelve apostles from the inner circle of Jesus' disciples, but he was not appointed to this office by Jesus himself, unlike the others. After Jesus' betrayal by Judas Iscariot and the subsequent crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the eleven remaining apostles prayed for the Holy Spirit and elected a new twelfth apostle. The lot fell to Matthias, as reported in the "Acts of the Apostles" in the New Testament (Acts 1:15-26). His feast day is on May 14th, and in German-speaking areas, February 24th. He is buried in the Benedictine Abbey of St. Matthias in Trier; it is the only apostle's tomb north of the Alps, and a number of St. Matthias Brotherhoods (SMB) regularly make pilgrimages there.

The Fischbeker Heide is a great area for cycling! I like riding my gravel bike here. If you want to go to the Harburger Berge, it's best to go through here. The Fischbeker Heide is also regularly and rightly included in the Orbits, which are south of Hamburg. But: Be careful and watch out for pedestrians.

The mill is currently being restored; perhaps it will be open to visitors again soon. It has been closed for several years. It is very beautiful to look at and a visit is highly recommended.
