yes, whoever wants to go to the small Elbe ferry has to cross this bridge. It is open three times a day for a certain period. You need to know this. The times are available on the internet.

Here also runs the 4th stage of the Elbhöhenweg trail, which I can warmly 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).

There are over 30 of the city gnomes, and searching for them is fun.

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.

The small town lies on the Elbe Cycle Path and boasts a charming, half-timbered old town. The town's own vineyard and open-air museum are also worth a visit.
