    They harvest around 300,000 tonnes of apples every year, as well as pears, cherries, plums, raspberries and strawberries. This is what the Altes Land is attracting more and more visitors to. Numerous cycle paths meander through the rows of trees, and corners such as the gleaming white Hogendiek Bridge in Steinkirchen provide postcard-worthy motifs.

    The area between the Schwinge River in the west and the Süderelbe in the east is around 1200 square kilometres in size. Almost 200,000 people live in Europe's largest closed fruit-growing area, most of them in Stade and Buxtehude. Jork is considered the secret capital of the Altes Land, where most apple farmers also have their farms.

      Again and again the bright, red fruits on the trees are wonderful.

        The gorgeous apple blossoms and the wonderful red apples are always beautiful. How delicious.
