ゲーストハッハのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

View of the Elbe River, the Lower Saxon bank of the Elbe, towards Wehr & Krümmel. Just take a break and enjoy.

There is absolute silence here.

The old gunpowder factory in Düneberg has existed since the late 19th century. Initially, it produced gunpowder, later also explosives for war. After 1945, the site was severely damaged. Because chemicals were used there for a long time, problems with the soil and groundwater persist to this day. In the late 1980s, more detailed investigations began. Some areas have been considered contaminated since then and require continued monitoring.

A beach without a sea. The wind-sculpted sand dunes in the Besenhorster Sandberge and Elbe Sand Meadows Nature Reserve are up to 20 meters high and crisscross the landscape east of Geesthacht. Pines and birch trees take root in the sandy soil, and plants normally found only on the coast grow among them.

Just a stone's throw from Geesthacht lies the Besenhorster Sandberge and Elbsandwiesen nature reserve. Here, gentle dunes, ancient oak forests, and wide, open meadows await you. As you wander through the dry grass, you might hear grasshoppers chirping in the rock stonecrop, and with a bit of luck, the song of nightingales, green woodpeckers, and woodlarks. The air smells of pine resin, and here and there, you'll spot the remains of the old Düneberg gunpowder factory.

Brilliant place, highly recommended!

The mix of forest and meadow with hiking trails and swimming areas with a real beach is fantastic.

All the information is on the board! The island is very exciting!
