A very nice rest area on the Medem River. The fishing boat Onkel Heinz also starts its tours here. Parking is available on site. The lock is also very impressive.

🚲✨ The Medem lock in Otterndorf is a fascinating bottleneck between fresh and saltwater and an absolute highlight for technology fans and "sightseers". It is precisely here, where the tranquil Medem meets the mighty Elbe estuary, that it becomes clear how indispensable coastal protection is for the hinterland.
