Hogendiek Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

View of the Elbe River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Elberadwanderweg leads directly along the Elbe. The alternation between low and high tide is interesting. The ships are impressive.
There is always a place for a quiet break along the way.

I liked route 3/4. The part through the apple orchards is very beautiful. The beautiful old houses are also worth seeing. The stretch along the dyke wasn't that great.
