The kilometer-long beach lures with the finest white sand. The blue ribbon of the Elbe promises heavenly refreshment. The gentle murmur of the water rhythmically accompanies the most beautiful daydreams, while giant container ships and cruise ships seem to float past on the horizon.

A fantastic stretch of beach on Krautsand with a playground, toilet facilities, open shower, bistro, seating, large parking lot, information boards, bicycle racks and a dog beach, as well as a site manager during the summer months.
