Hiking
This scenic area on the outskirts of Geesthacht was formed from sand deposits blown up into dunes during the Ice Age. Even today, the dunes are up to 20 meters high and covered with oak, pine, and birch trees. In the immediate vicinity are the Elbe Sand Meadows, a dry sandy grassland with rare plant species. While walking, you can also see the remains of the Düneberg gunpowder factory, which was located there until the end of World War II. Nature has since reclaimed this area.
