Conquering the staircase district in the Hamburg district of Blankenese by bike is a bit of a challenge. But it's worth the effort, because the charm is stunning. The district is located on the Elbe bank between the 72-meter-high Süllberg and Baurs Park, bordered by the beach path on the Elbe. Most of the houses can only be reached on foot via the steps.
