The 4th stage of the Elbhöhenweg also leads here, which I can highly recommend. All information about the Elbhöhenweg can be found at the following link: https://www.wanderbares-deutschland.de/wege/alle-wege/elb-hoehenweg-etappe-4-von-hitzacker-bis-neu-darchau-e82d5a097d (Status: 02.05.2026).

If you cross the old Jeetzel River, you'll get to the other side. It's okay to walk, but I'd prefer to drive a bit further, where you can easily cross over a road bridge.
