Konau and Popelau are among the most beautiful Marsh Hoof villages on the Elbe. You can learn more about the history of these two villages on a bike tour. Exhibitions and former border towers are reminiscent of the time of the division of Germany, when the places were directly behind the border tower. At the same time, this tour along the Elbe dike gives you a good insight into the nature of the biosphere reserve.

Hofcafé "Gelber Richard" in Konau - unfortunately not for long (until the end of August 2020), then it will close!
