Apple Orchard in Wischhafen

Highlight • Natural

Wischhafen is a charming community in the district of Stade, Lower Saxony, known for its rich history and picturesque location on the Elbe River. One of the main attractions of Wischhafen is the Elbe ferry, which is an important connection to Glückstadt in Schleswig-Holstein. This ferry is not only a major means of transport, but also offers a scenic crossing with views of the Elbe.

Another highlight in Wischhafen is the Kehdinger Coastal Shipping Museum. The museum shows the exciting history of coastal shipping and houses the museum ship "Iris-Jörg", a former coaster. This museum is particularly interesting for those who are passionate about maritime history and technology.

The Church of St. Dionysius in the district of Hamelwörden is another building worth seeing. This medieval church was built in the 15th century in the Gothic style and expanded in the 18th century. It is an important religious and cultural center of the community.

Osten–Hemmoor Transporter Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The ferry is not a ship, but a vehicle that travels across a body of water suspended from a fixed support structure. According to the supporting association, there are only eight transporter bridges left in the world. In Germany, another normally operates in Rendsburg across the Kiel Canal. However, due to a technical defect, it will be out of service until at least the end of July, according to the operator. Other such structures exist in Argentina, France, Great Britain, and Spain, according to the World Association of Transporter Bridges.

At the top of the dyke next to the monument to Fallersleben invites you to take a break on a bench. From here you have an excellent view over the Oste and the opposite bank as well as the bascule bridge on the right!
