Forest Path Junction — Hohes Elbufer (between Tesperhude and Lauenburg)

Highlight • Forest

A very nice place in the forest. There is also a bench here that you can use to rest. The forest (mainly deciduous) is also beautiful here, especially when the sun shines through the canopy.
Only the mosquitoes were out to get me when I stopped here for a coffee break during a bike ride (end of June 2023), but they seem to be quite aggressive in general this year.

Hohes Elbufer Between Tesperhude and Lauenburg

Highlight • Trail

Between Tesperhude and Lauenburg, the western part of the transnational biosphere reserve Elbe river landscape runs along the banks of the Elbe. Wooded, steeply rising Elbe slopes with many incisions and valley valleys characterize the landscape and offer wonderful views of the great river from the beautiful hiking and cycling trails.
Here you can bike along with the MTB. When the wide bench on the Elbe slope is free, you should allow yourself the time for a short rest with a great view. 😉

Regularly flooded alluvial forests in the bank areas are the habitat of the beavers, who feel at home here again. A two-kilometer beaver nature trail invites you to hike in the footsteps of Europe's largest rodents.

Hiking trail & Elbe cycle path: approx. 15 km (Geesthacht - Lauenburg)
Circular routes are signposted from the hiking car parks on the B5
Beaver nature trail: at the "Sandkrug" in Schnakenbek (approx. 2 km)

A great forest trail with views of the Elbe River. Partly gravel, with a few elevation gains. A delight on a touring or mountain bike.
