The Schwinge River is approximately 29 kilometers long. It rises between Elm and Mulsum and flows into the Elbe River near Stadersand. The river winds its way in large loops (meanders) all the way to Stade, truly living up to its name. The Schwingetal valley stretches across the wide river valley with its wetlands, riparian forests, marshes, and streams from Hagen to the Hanseatic city of Stade. It is a popular destination for day trips. The Barger Heide heathland is also located in the Schwingetal valley. A visit is wonderful at any time of year.
