    Hiking

    When you walk along the edge of this beautiful heath valley, you don't think you're on the edge of Geesthacht in the city forest, but rather somewhere far away from civilization. A beautiful piece of earth.

    About a quarter of the urban area of Geesthacht is forested. The city forest includes two large forest areas with a total of approx. 240 hectares of forest. The Heidberge extend from the western town limits to the Ziegenkrug. They are about 110 hectares in size. The Besenhorster Sandberge (approx. 130 ha) are located in the northeastern part of the city.

    Hiking

    The Hohes Elbufer hiking trail (W30) also runs along here, which I can highly recommend at this point. All information about the hiking trail can be found under the following link: wanderjugend.de/deutsche-wanderjugend/jugendwanderwege/die-jugendwanderwege/norddeutschland/hohes-elbufer (as of May 1, 2024).
