View of Dömitz and the Elbe

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

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.

The Dömitz harbor is located on the Elde river, just before it flows into the Elbe. A pretty little harbor through which the Elbe cycle path also runs. The Dömitz harbor hotel with a panoramic café is located in a former warehouse building.

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.

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.
