Numerous bird species can be observed to the right and left of the dyke path. In addition to geese, numerous great egrets and herons, falcons and kites, white storks and eight black storks, we were able to count today. I have not yet observed such a number of black storks in nature. An absolute tour highlight

Dömitz Railway Bridge (Skywalk)

Highlight • Bridge

The Dömitzer Bridge is one of the most impressive bridge structures in Germany. Due to its proximity to Dömitz Fortress, it had to be erected from the start of construction in such a way that it could be defended militarily in the event of an enemy attack - the massive bridge house still bears witness to this today.

During the Second World War, the river bridges and the swing bridge were destroyed by an air raid, leaving only the bridge arches on the flooded area. Since the Elbe marked the border during the division of Germany, the bridge was not rebuilt and fell into disrepair over time.

Now it should finally wake up again: With EU funding amounting to millions, the bridge will be renovated and made accessible, and gastronomy at the bridge house will probably follow.
