Freshwater Tidal Flats at Stöckter Deich

Highlight • Natural

The Stöckter Deich is a scenic jewel 5 kilometers long between the town of Winsen and the Elbe. A place for relaxation, walking, jogging and cycling, enjoying nature and the landscape.
The Stöckter dike is the natural border in the south of the port area and the connection to Winsen (Luhe). It leads through the old town of Stöckte with its low, often thatched-roof farmhouses and the scenic views of the outer dyke.

Ilmenau River in the Ilmenau-Luhe Lowlands Nature Reserve

Highlight • River

Here the Ilmenau is on its last kilometers before the Elbe. It used to be necessary as a cross-connection between the ESK (Elbe side canal) and the Elbe, which is why it has been expanded to become the official shipping route. In the upper reaches, however, the Ilmenau is a beautiful meadow river.
