The city harbor on the swingarm is today controlled only by sport boats and yachts. The rocker flows a little later into the Elbe.

Start and end for a city tour through the historic old town. There are enough cafes for short breaks. From the Spiegelberg there is a great view of the whole scene. The different impressions due to the tides are also interesting. At low tide, some of the ships lie on mud.
A modern district on one side and the historic center of the city on the other. If you want, you can take a walk around the city from here along the moat and the old fortifications.
Recommendation: take part in a city tour.

It was originally a tidal port, i. H. connected to the Elbe and its tides via the lower reaches of the Schwinge. As a result of the great storm surge in February 1962, which submerged the north of Stade's old town, it has been separated from the tidal water by a weir and a road over it since 1968 (Wikipedia).

A day trip with the GREUNDIEK from Stade to Glückstadt and back is highly recommended. And if you haven't been to Glückstadt yet, the GREUNDIEK is an unusual way to get there.
You experience a bit of seafaring romance and the crew tells one story after another and explains and guides you through the whole ship. Very entertaining.
The food on board is simple (sausages and beer or soft drinks) and the price is moderate.

Before you set off, find out about high and low tide in Stade. These are very different impressions. For cyclists on the Elbe Cycle Route: a new accommodation is about to be completed near the harbor on the Elbe Cycle Route: the Havenhostel Stade. Cyclists will find everything they need.
In addition to trips on the Greundiek, tours on the Tiedenkieker can also be booked at the tourist office at the harbor. The flat-bottomed boat is particularly suitable for observing animals (birds, seals, etc.) on the banks of the Haseldorfer Marsch (NSG). If you're lucky, you'll also see eagles on the trip.

Crime scene flair ;-)
While in the Ruhr area there is the bratwurst stand, which stands in the middle of nowhere and only serves as a place for detectives to leave half-eaten bratwursts and half-drunk beer bottles with the words: "Kalle, are you writing like always?", here there is a fish sandwich stand in the middle of the parking lot at the harbor; great picture.

A detour to the Stade port with its ships, boats and nearby restaurants is always worthwhile. Also the fish market with the old port and the beautiful restaurants - simply worth seeing and experiencing1

The port and trading town of Stade, located on the Schwinge tributary of the Elbe, can look back on more than 1,000 years of history. To this day, Stade remains the economic and cultural center of the Altes Land holiday region on the Elbe River and the Stade district. Danish and Swedish rule left their mark. The Schwedenspeicher Museum at the Hanseatic Harbor still bears witness to the Swedish era, which, incidentally, can be revisited on scenic city tours through the winding streets of the old town.

Even in the past, Stade's Hanseatic Harbor was the economic heart of the Hanseatic city, with trade in products from all over the world flourishing. Today, the harbor boasts cafes, restaurants, and inviting seating areas right on the waterfront. In addition to beautiful half-timbered houses, there is also the award-winning and interactive "Sweden Speicher Museum - Hanseatic Museum with Treasure Chamber," the Schwedenspeicher Museum, the Mayor Hintze House with its unusual Renaissance façade, and the historic wooden crane at the fish market. The brick-red old town invites you to stroll through medieval-looking alleys.

The many ornate half-timbered houses and merchant houses are lined up along the pedestrian zone like pearls on a string. The Hanseatic city of Stade is a wonderful place to shop – both large and small shops cater to every shopping desire.

In Stade's city harbor, you can moor on 100 meters of modern floating piers with power connections, which puts you right in the city center. The harbor is particularly busy with guest boats on weekends.

The city harbor is fully equipped with a harbor master's office, toilets, showers, drinking water and sockets on the piers, washing machine and dryer. Tourist information and an entertainment center with bistros, restaurants, hotels, cinemas, discos and bowling alleys are located right next to the harbor. Sailmakers, repair shops for boats, propulsion and electrics as well as accessory shops, banks, post offices, doctors and pharmacies are close to the harbor.

Further supplies are available in the city center, which can be reached in less than 5 minutes on foot. Numerous old houses that have been lovingly restored bear witness to Stade's eventful history. A tour of Stade's old town with its small alleys and half-timbered houses, with numerous sights and museums as well as inviting cafes with summer terraces is an essential part of a shore excursion.

A floating monument has moored in Stade: The M/S "Greundiek" is a coastal motor ship from 1950. As a monument and cultural ship, it is anchored in Stade's city harbor and can be visited. In the summer months, >>excursions with guests are also undertaken. Cultural events are also occasionally held on board. The ship is also available for private celebrations.

The "Greundiek" is one of the first civilian steel ships to be fully welded; there is therefore not a single row of rivets on the hull and superstructure. The original wooden bridges with the old steering position and nautical equipment are historically valuable. Some of the cabins are still furnished with furniture from the 1950s.

The "Greundiek" was laid down in 1949 as the "Hermann-Hans" at the Rickmers shipyard in Bremerhaven; the launch took place in January 1950. The ship was later used for teaching purposes at the Grünendeich Maritime School. For many years, ship mechanic training was carried out on board. In 1994, the "Alter Hafen Stade e.V." association took over the "Greundiek".

Stade City Harbor
The section of the moat between the chamber lock at the Salztor and the Schwinge Canal served as a temporary landing place for a long time until the city of Stade finally acquired this land for the construction of a new harbor, and a new harbor basin was built here in 1880/81. Stade City Harbor is located directly near the city center and can be reached via the Schwinge, a tributary of the Elbe, near Stadersand. After approximately 4.5 km from the mouth of the Schwinge, the city harbor is reached. Guest boaters can moor at modern floating docks with electrical connections. The harbor is tidal, meaning that the water depth is strongly influenced by the tides. For centuries, Stade's Old Harbor was the city's most important transshipment point, and even today, the city harbor remains a vibrant hub for shipping and tourism. Its historical significance and picturesque location make it a unique destination for visitors and recreational boaters.
