We stopped off at the Forsthaus Glüsing with a group of 9 people for a delicious gourmet breakfast. Very good value for money. There was yoghurt, salmon, sausage, egg, cheese and something from the bakery for dessert. We enjoyed our breakfast on the beautiful terrace with large parasols. I can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience.

The hiking trail "Hohes Elbufer" (W30) also runs along here, which I can highly recommend at this point. All information about the hiking trail can be found under the following link: https://wanderjugend.de/deutsche-wanderjugend/jugendwanderwege/die-jugendwanderwege/norddeutschland/hohes-elbufer (as of May 1, 2024).

The Forsthaus Glüsing is more than just an inn - it is a place where tradition meets a cozy coffee house with regional cuisine. Built almost 80 years ago and lovingly restored, the inn combines tradition and cosiness with modern comfort. Here you can not only stay overnight and have a delicious breakfast, but also unwind and enjoy the fine flavors of regional German cuisine as well as tarts and cakes from the in-house pastry shop. More information can be found here: https://www.forsthausgluesing.de/

A nice place for a little rest with bench and information board. In the event of a surprising rain shower, you'll be happy if you know the little shelter and can find it here.
