Cycling

Well, that's almost like a mountain! After all, it is more than 50 meters up, quite remarkable for the high north and actually a little sweaty. And best of all, there is more! Because at the top of the "Kniepenberg" stands at 86 meters height of the lookout tower, with which you can grab another 16 meters on it and thus land on 102 meters. If it is not too cloudy, the view up here is fantastic. In particular, the view of the Elbaue alone is worth the climb.

Lovely view. And at the foot of the tower is a nice rest area with a refuge.

Fantastically beautiful view over the Elbe to Mecklenburg, which is best worked out with a hike on the Klötzie-Stieg (steep ascent to the Kniepenberg). Unfortunately, most people come by car.
