This tree stands openly and alone at the beginning of the tour. It looks very similar to a bonsai.

Dömitz, located on the Elbe River without a border crossing, was a border town during the GDR era – the Elbe formed the middle of the border. Europe's largest active grain silo was also once located here: grain came from the Soviet Union, via Czechoslovakia, to Dömitz in the GDR, for loading onto ships bound for Hamburg. This silo has been converted into a very elegant hotel and event location. From the terrace (approx. 25 meters), the entire surrounding area can be viewed. Relics of the old railway line (bridge; western bank of the Elbe) can also be viewed and walked through here. Needless to say: the Elbe Cycle Path "passes" by here; camping on the eastern railway embankment and a visit to the Dömitz Fortress are other notable/noteworthy points of interest.

Here, Federal Highway 195 crosses the Elde River. The bridge can be raised if necessary (for larger boats to pass through). On the south side of the bridge is the Dömitz harbor, and a little further south, the Elde flows into the Elbe.

The Elbe Valley Dunes near Klein Schmölen are a unique natural phenomenon in the heart of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, about 100 kilometers from the sea. They were formed around 12,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age and today form the largest inland shifting dune in Europe – up to 42 meters high and about two kilometers long. On the nutrient-poor, dry sandy areas, you will find rare plants and animals, including endangered insect species and the sand sedge. The dunes are located on the edge of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Elbe River Landscape Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which, with its near-natural floodplain landscape, offers great opportunities for nature experiences and relaxation.
