    Tips

    Less than five minutes after casting off at the Elbeich in Hollern-Twielenfleth, the island is reached: a green stretch in the middle of the Elbe, a little over three kilometers long and only 550 meters wide. A red and white electricity pylon towers prominently there, which at 227 meters is the highest of its kind in Europe. There has been a nature reserve on this eastern corner of the island for decades, a number of bird species breed there, entry is prohibited there - as with other Elbe islands. But it is different on the western part of Lühesand, where you can still experience that Huckleberry Finn feeling of island seclusion in the middle of a large river: there are small huts and mobile homes for long-term campers and tourists, there are tent sites, and for a few years there has even been a mobile home site, and also 16 weekend houses and walking paths that connect everything. Much seems to have fallen out of time here

      Lühesand is a little over three kilometers long and a good 500 meters wide. The southern part of the island is under nature protection and cannot be entered. In the northern part there is a campsite and a network of well-groomed paths.

        The campsite on the Elbe island of Lühesand will be closed in 2025
