    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.

      Even if the trekking bike ride is very difficult ... but the fantastic view across the Elbe makes up for the effort.

        The view is worth the effort of getting there.
        The tower is super stable and even though I don't like heights, I felt safe.
