    Attention, the way there is very narrow and can be muddy to impassable depending on the water level!

    The "old conveyor belt" are the remains of a loading point for gravel. Until the 1970s, gravel was loaded from the gravel pit, which is still located directly on the banks of the Elbe and is still active. Today the gravel arrives in the country by truck.

    Here also runs the 4th stage of the Elbhöhenweg, which I can warmly recommend. All information about the Elbhöhenweg can be found at the following link: wanderbares-deutschland.de/wege/alle-wege/elb-hoehenweg-etappe-4-von-hitzacker-bis-neu-darchau-e82d5a097d (Status: 02.05.2026).
