Hiking

The Wittenbergen nature reserve is located on the banks of the Elbe near Rissen and offers a varied landscape. On top of the Geest, heathland and oak scrub forests grow, while below there are sandy beaches and wet meadows. The steep slopes of the Elbe are not only impressive, but also an ideal habitat for sand lizards. In spring, the rare checkered lily blooms here. From here you have wonderful views over the Elbe to the Elbe island of Nesssand and the Altes Land.

This heath area, which is located in the NSG Wittenberge, also gives visitors a "heath feeling" in the west of Hamburg.
