Hitzacker Old Town

Hitzacker is an ideal day trip destination in eastern Lower Saxony. The Old Town Island, with its several well-kept half-timbered and brick houses that exude a great atmosphere, is particularly worth a visit. The houses stretch almost to the banks of the Elbe River and have therefore been repeatedly threatened by flooding. Since 2008, the old town has been protected by a massive concrete promenade.

Hitzacker's old town (on the town island) lies between the Jeetzel and Elbe rivers and is always worth a visit. There are some pretty, old half-timbered houses to see here.
You can get a wonderful view of the town island and the Elbe from the vineyard, which is on the opposite (western) side of the Jeetzel from the old town.
On the northern side of the town island there is a flood protection wall, behind which lies Hitzacker's marina and meadows about 120-150 meters wide, behind which the Elbe flows.

Hitzacker definitely visit have rarely seen such a beautiful old town.
