A great destination for hikers and cyclists here on the Elbe beach opposite the Grauer Ort fortress. You can walk for miles along the Elbe beach, sunbathe, swim in the Elbe, or sit on one of the many benches and enjoy the view.

Unfortunately, the system cannot be maintained for cost reasons, which is a shame because there are some events taking place there.

Hiking

Within the fortress grounds of Grauerort, visitors can enjoy a regularly operating narrow-gauge railway (600 mm track). Dedicated railway enthusiasts welcome visitors to take a seat in converted ammunition wagons. The scenic route runs for one kilometer from the engine shed to the former landing stage on the Elbe River and back.

"Groveblitz" rides on Sundays and public holidays: 11:30 a.m. / 1:00 p.m. / 2:30 p.m. (Additional times available upon request)
