The history of the forest on Schwarzer Berg (Black Mountain), near the Elbe Clinic in Stade. The entire area has been a local recreation area for the residents of Stade since the 19th century. Many people probably no longer know that the first Bismarck Tower in Lower Saxony once stood here. It towered over the city of Stade. This tower was 22.5 meters high, and its foundation stone was laid in 1895. The tower was demolished on April 2, 1962. The oldest trees on Schwarzer Berg are approximately 170 years old. Today, it is still a popular destination for runners, walkers, strollers, and dog owners. A walk here is challenging, as it involves constant ups and downs. The paths are natural, with roots and stones scattered across them. Despite this, a trip here is still worthwhile.

The hiking trails in the Auental valley are truly beautiful. Information signs provide details about the local birdlife. With a bit of luck, you might even spot deer in the undergrowth. The surrounding area is characterized by stunning, unspoiled nature. Wild orchids in bloom create a vibrant and colorful scene 😊. Even raspberry bushes grow along the paths. A hike here is highly recommended and absolutely breathtaking ☀️.

In May there was still plenty of water in the pond, where many frogs were frolicking.

If you drive about 200m further down the road - away from the dyke - you can find a very nice place to relax, with several places to sit and - if you're with the kids - a nice playground. Right by the small pond. We used to go here a lot with our children.

The 5th stage of the "Wilde 13" hiking trail also leads along here. The "Wilde 13" is not signposted or marked, but can only be hiked using a GPX file at the following link: https://www.dav-hamburg.de/dav/Wilde13 (as of October 2024).
