Alster River in Wellingsbüttel

In the "hilly" Endmoränen landscape of Wellingsbüttler Alstertal you hardly notice that you are traveling in a big city. Below, the Alster splashing in its almost natural bed, a bit higher you walk through beautiful beech forest. It is especially beautiful in spring, when the forest floor is blooming, in autumn, when the foliage is colorful and in summer, when you can walk in the cool shade of trees - so always.

One of my absolute Alster favorite places lies at the end of the marked route. At the small valley cut the Alster divides and leaves a dead arm. The piece of land between them looks like a small island. The Alster bank is pushed up here and crossed by knotty root system. A nice piece of nature! Since not only I feel that, but you are rarely alone here.

Behind the Fuhlsbüttler lock, the natural part of the Alster begins. You can hear the city but rarely see it. Instead there is plenty of water and lots of green in summer.

A highlight in every season and in every weather
