Sign for the smallest city in Lower Saxony

Schnackenburg, the smallest town in Lower Saxony, is a pretty, small town that lies on the Aland and Elbe rivers. It is just a shame that there is no longer a single shop in Schnackenburg, neither a supermarket nor a "corner shop". For shopping you have to go to Gartow, about 10km away (Gartow is larger than Schnackenburg and also has several shops, including Penny and Edeka, but Gartow, unlike Schnackenburg, has no town charter).

Schnackenburg is located at the mouth of the Aland River. From the observation tower at the harbor you have a beautiful view over the Elbe, at "feet" is the sports boat harbor. The Schifferkirche St. Nikolas has a floating baptismal angel.
Before reunification, Schnackenburg was a customs station, and a border museum at the port commemorates this. Details about 30 years of the inner-German border can also be found in the border village of Stresow in Saxony-Anhalt, 4 km away. A memorial there commemorates a village that was razed under Ulbricht by the GDR government in 1972. A bathing area invites you to take a break.
The Schnackenburg - Lütkenwisch ferry station connects to Brandenburg.
