From the bridge at Wanzer you can see the tree-lined course of the Aland River. Next to it the remains of the former bridge.

The old wooden bridge no longer exists. In the meantime, a new bridge with a concrete substructure has been built there. The new bridge looks much more robust than the old one, which was already pretty dilapidated, but is no longer as pretty as the old wooden bridge. Nevertheless, a very nice and quiet place on the Aland, with a covered resting place (roof, table and two benches are made entirely of wood), which is ideal for a break, during a bike ride or hike.

Elbe Beach, Wahrenberg

Highlight • Beach

A beautiful place, I often pass by here on my bike tours on the Elbe Cycle Path and I always like to take a break here.
The Elbe beach is right here at the foot of the Elbe dike. The Elbe Cycle Path also runs directly on the Elbe dyke. There is a small café (Anne Elbe) right next to the cycle path, which offers delicious coffee and homemade cakes. There is usually some sandy beach between the groynes, unless the water level of the Elbe is high.

View of the Elbe River from the dike

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Elbe dike you have a beautiful view of the Elbe and the banks of the Elbe. The area is beautiful, the landscape is really magical at sunrise or sunset. The Elbe Cycle Path runs right next to the dike.

Schnackenburg Harbor

Highlight • Structure

Pretty little harbor in Lüchow-Dannenberg's smallest town. The port is fed to the south by the Aland River, which flows into the Elbe north of the port. There is a wooden observation tower in the harbor, from which one has a beautiful overview of the Elbe and the Schnackenburger Elbe Valley. The Schnackenburg port is located in the triangle of three countries: just behind the port is the state border between the federal states of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, the other (northern) side of the Elbe belongs to the state of Brandenburg. Behind the harbor (just before the mouth of the Aland in the Elbe) you can cross the Elbe by ferry (by car, bike or on foot).
