beautiful section, it is oppressive to imagine that a life-threateningly fortified border once ran here. All the more beautiful that you can enjoy the preserved nature here.

In Stiepelse itself, a village with more than 800 years of history, you can feel the deep connection the people have with their land and the Elbe. The direct location on the river, which was used for centuries, tells stories of trade, fishing and a community that knew how to preserve its place despite all historical upheavals. Today, restaurants and guesthouses invite you to enjoy the idyllic tranquility and pause for a moment. The cycle path along the banks of the Elbe is not just a route from one place to another; it is an invitation to discover and experience the beauty of nature. Whether you're sunbathing on the dike, playing in the beach area or swimming in the Elbe - the proximity to nature and the freedom that this place offers are unique. The Elbe bank landscape near Stiepelse is a testimony to the harmonious coexistence of people and nature. It is a place that shows how valuable and enriching simply cycling along the river can be. Here you will not only find a breathtaking view and a welcome break on the journey, but also a piece of living history and culture.

The river covers almost 1,100 kilometers from the source of the Elbe in the Giant Mountains to its mouth in the North Sea. Since the cycle path does not always follow the banks of the Elbe, the Elbe cycle path is approx. 1,270 kilometers long. Not only is this section beautiful 🤫 and it is also important to ask “upstream or downstream” 👍
