View of Dömitz and the Elbe

Here, one surprisingly encounters a modern sculpture that transports one's thoughts back to ancient times: In Greek mythology, there was Charon, the ferryman to the underworld. At burial, a coin was placed on each of the dead's eyes; this was Charon's reward for transporting the deceased safely. Why he, as the ferryman, is standing not on a barge, but on a four-wheeled cart, is perhaps a free interpretation by the artist...

The tower is located on the Brandenburg section of the Green Belt on the former inner-German border. An imposing landmark that can be seen from afar. The tower was largely left in its original condition and was designated a National Natural Monument in 2022. Visitors can access it via an attached external spiral staircase, thus transforming the former border tower into an observation tower.

Walkable border tower with a great view.

beautiful view over the Elbe landscape with the fortress town of Dömitz

You should definitely stop here and climb the tower using the external stairs. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with history and the great view.

The bridge offers a great view of the Elbe, Dömitz (Mecklenburg-West Pomerania) and the still standing part of the Dömitz Elbbrücke on the southern bank of the Elbe near Kaltenhof (Lower Saxony). Especially in the morning, during a beautiful sunrise, you can often enjoy spectacular views here.

The Dömitzer Bridge is one of the most impressive bridge structures in Germany. Due to its proximity to Dömitz Fortress, it had to be erected from the start of construction in such a way that it could be defended militarily in the event of an enemy attack - the massive bridge house still bears witness to this today. During the Second World War, the river bridges and the swing bridge were destroyed by an air raid, leaving only the bridge arches on the flooded area. Since the Elbe marked the border during the division of Germany, the bridge was not rebuilt and fell into disrepair over time. Now it should finally wake up again: With EU funding amounting to millions, the bridge will be renovated and made accessible, and gastronomy at the bridge house will probably follow.
