The bistal is located in the hamlet of Hamburg, between Sachsenwald and Elbe, about five kilometers southeast of Hamburg between the district of HH-Bergedorf and the city of Geesthacht. It belongs to the communities Escheburg and Kröppelshagen (with the district Fahrendorf). In the north it turns into a forest area, the foothills of the Sachsenwald. With a height of approx. 50 meters above the flat marshland, it is part of the densely wooded Geest slope, which represented the northern bank of the Elbe glacial valley.

Hiking

The Bistal is the smaller brother of the Dalbekschlucht. Here it is much quieter and less developed.
