    The Elbe1 river is located at the Alte Liebe landing stage. A great cycling route and hiking trails run along here.

    The museum ship Elbe 1 cannot always be seen on the old love. Often on the go. WHERE it is located and when you can on the website

    On April 22, 1988, the 172-year history of manned lightships came to an end in the mouth of the Elbe near Cuxhaven. As "floating beacons" of international shipping, these pointed the way safely through the sandbanks to the mouth of the Elbe or to the sea. The crews were not only necessary to operate the lightships, but they also helped people in distress at sea or called for help by radio, observed shipping traffic, wind, water and weather and passed on reports. A lightship had to hold its position under all circumstances.
