Burg Henneberg

Alster Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The whole Alster hiking trail is recommended for a bike tour. You have to be considerate of pedestrians. So it's not a racetrack.

In the "hilly" Endmoränen landscape of Wellingsbüttler Alstertal you hardly notice that you are traveling in a big city. Below, the Alster splashing in its almost natural bed, a bit higher you walk through beautiful beech forest. It is especially beautiful in spring, when the forest floor is blooming, in autumn, when the foliage is colorful and in summer, when you can walk in the cool shade of trees - so always.

One of my absolute Alster favorite places lies at the end of the marked route. At the small valley cut the Alster divides and leaves a dead arm. The piece of land between them looks like a small island. The Alster bank is pushed up here and crossed by knotty root system. A nice piece of nature! Since not only I feel that, but you are rarely alone here.

Alsterwanderweg in the Alster Valley

Highlight • Forest

On the Fuhlsbüttler part of the Alster hiking trail you pass a section behind the underground bridge (U1) on the right side of the Alster (coming from Ohlsdorf) past an alder forest. Depending on the season and the rain, the soil is more or less wet. A little forest to look at and not to enter and thus a tiny piece of untouched nature in Hamburg. It grows as it grows and falls as it falls. Wonderful!

On the opposite side of the Alster there is also a nice piece of "swamped" Alster between the underground bridge and the pedestrian bridge.

Fuhlsbüttel Lock

Highlight • Structure

... or the lock, which is actually a weir. In 2011, the 100-year-old lock system was demolished for security reasons and replaced by a new building. A little bit, I still mourn the small lock keeper's house, which has given way to a functional new building, but overall the new building has succeeded. Now there is a fish ladder and sitting steps where you can enjoy the last rays of the evening sun - if it shines. ;) Canoes can be transported via a boat slip system between the upper and lower reaches.

In addition, despite conversion, the hydropower plant commissioned in 2000 was preserved. The Alster generates electricity for around 200 households here. An information board informs interested technology fans.

The Fuhlsbüttler lock separates the canalized Alster Unterlauf from the unpaved upper course. In the wide dammed basin between the lock and Ratsmühlenbrücke, the man of the Alster has put his stamp on his last time, after which he is free and moves largely in their natural bed. Here begins the natural and green part of the Alster.

"The human being", whose work one sees here, is - one observes on the dark red clinker - course Oberbaudirektor Fritz Schumacher. The complex along with the parallel blocks of flats on the Woermannsweg and Justus-Strandes-Weg goes back to his designs.

Alster lock system

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The Alsterwanderweg can be wonderfully explored on a kilometer-long route on foot or by bike. It runs beautifully right next to the Alsterlauf and changes more often the river side. By canoe, SUP o.a. You can drive here as well.

Ohlsdorf Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

The Ohlsdorfer Friedhof is the largest cemetery in Europe and has its own infrastructure, such as its own bus stops and road network. The use of the streets by bike is officially approved, but you have to be careful not to overtake any funeral procession! In addition, some of the access gates will be closed overnight. You should keep this in mind if the tour takes longer in summer.
