    Hiking

    At this point, the Alster widens like a bay.
    The small steps by the water invite you to take a break with a wonderful view.

    Hiking

    At this point, the Alster River is marked by a strikingly wide bulge on both sides. In earlier times, the site was probably a kind of freight port, supplying local businesses with raw materials. Later, attempts were made to establish a rowing competition venue here.

    Running

    The section along Alsterdorfer Damm was likely a prominent outdoor competition venue in the early decades of the 20th century – particularly for:

    Canoeing and rowing competitions

    Swimming events

    Lightweight recreational and fun competitions

    The stepped design and the calmer water profile made it the perfect location for such activities. Official documents for individual races are rarely available online, but could likely be found in city archives, club chronicles (e.g., canoeing or rowing clubs), or historical newspapers.
