If you cross the old Jeetzel River, you'll get to the other side. It's okay to walk, but I'd prefer to drive a bit further, where you can easily cross over a road bridge.

Over the bridge you can shorten the way to the other bank of the Jeetzel

The Lüchower Landgraben and Grenzgraben lowlands separate Wendland from the Altmark in the south. Geographically, western Wendland represents the eastern edge of the Lüneburg Heath, which was shaped during the Saale Ice Age, and is partly part of the Ostheide. The Drawehn mountain range, which is also known as the east Hanoverian gravel end moraine, determines the landscape there. It is a sandy geest that has been reforested with pine trees. With infertile soil and lack of water due to the permeable soil, it has always been unfriendly to settlement throughout its history. The largest part of the Hanoverian Wendland lies in the glacial valley of the Elbe. A distinction is made between the actual Elbtalaue in the north and the Lüchower lowlands. The latter is a lower terrace, which is traversed by numerous watercourses - the largest being the Jeetzel -, canals and ditches. Heights are formed by small, island-like ground moraines such as Öring, Lemgow, Langendorfer Geestinsel and Höhbeck. In the east there is the Gartower Forest on a large shifting sand plain.

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.

Large flock of sheep ... but closely guarded by 2 herding dogs. So nothing to stroke ...

Hitzacker in Lower Saxony is located at the confluence of the Jeetzel and the Elbe. While the Elbe heights (also: Klötzie), at the south-eastern foot of which is Hitzacker, are already part of the Lüneburg Heath in terms of nature (compare: Drawehn), the lowlands of the old town are part of the Elbe Valley. The city island with half-timbered houses and the customs house built in 1589 are under monument protection.

If you want to continue on the Elbe after a visit to the old town, you should cross the Jeetzel here, otherwise you have to go back 🙁.
