About Altes Land am Elbstrom
Vor den Toren Hamburgs erstreckt sich entlang der Elbe eine wunderschöne Urlaubsregion, die ihren Namen von dem größten zusammenhängenden Obstanbaugebiet Deutschlands hat, dem Obstgarten Altes Land. Im Frühjahr gibt es kaum eine andere Region mit einer so faszinierenden Blütenpracht. 20 Millionen Obstbäume blühen entlang der Elbe bis in den Mai hinein und bringen im Herbst eine leckere Ernte. Auf den Obsthöfen locken dann knackige Äpfel und ein Picknick unter Apfelbäumen, in den Restaurants der ganzen Region verzaubern regionale Speisen.
Gleich zwei bezaubernde Hansestädte – Stade und Buxtehude – verströmen ihre Anziehungskraft. Die Hansezugehörigkeit prägt bis heute das Stadtbild, Hafen und Fleete sind unverändert die Herzstücke der Orte. Überall spürbar ist die geballte Kraft der Natur und das maritime Erbe der Region.
Ziele für Naturfreunde und Entspannungssuchende: Die Obstanbau- und Naturschutzgebiete, die Elbe samt Nebenflüssen, die Hochmoore, die Weiten Kehdingens, die Wälder der Stader Geest und natürlich die Elbstrände. Das Alte Land am Elbstrom ist nicht nur im Frühjahr und Herbst eine Reise wert. Für Naturbegeisterte, Stadtentdecker, Radler, Kunstliebhaber, Genießer und Wasserfreunde eine spannende Region.
