    Tips

    Just a stone's throw from Geesthacht lies the Besenhorster Sandberge and Elbsandwiesen nature reserve. Here, gentle dunes, ancient oak forests, and wide, open meadows await you. As you wander through the dry grass, you might hear grasshoppers chirping in the rock stonecrop, and with a bit of luck, the song of nightingales, green woodpeckers, and woodlarks. The air smells of pine resin, and here and there, you'll spot the remains of the old Düneberg gunpowder factory.

        Nice track for hiking and bunker look.
