Alstervorland Park

Generous park area at the Aussenalster with beautiful old trees and a wide view of the city. Very popular running track and several jetty.

The wide strip of green on the west bank of the Alster is one of the most beautiful places in Hamburg's city center with the special flair of nature in front of a cityscape. However, the big city is also noticeable here in other ways: it is almost always full at the weekend. If you do not like to be in crowds, it becomes unbearable on beautiful summer weekends at the latest from noon.

Cycling is prohibited on the riverside path. Some cyclists still try their luck, but with a large crowd you can only go at walking pace - or push.

Dogs must be kept on a leash. However, there is a large (unfenced) free-running area on one of the Alster meadows.

Otherwise there are a lot of joggers out here. The slightly over 7 km long loop around the Außenalster is the classic among Hamburg's jogging routes.

The Alster foreland is the meadows to the left of the Alster, which begin in Harvestehude and Rotherbaum.
