Hitzacker City Island

Highlight • Monument

The town island of Hitzacker is always worth a trip. Whether by bike or on foot.
There is so much to discover: colorful front doors, old facades, the view of the Jeetzel, the harbor and of course the Elbe.
I must not forget our Protestant church, St. Johannis, with the magnificent paintings that show the most diverse scenes from the Bible.

Kniepenberg Viewpoint

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Kniepenberg is almost my "home mountain". A must for every racing cyclist are the 13 percent from the direction of Tiessau 😎🚴👍 Attention: downhill Max 70 km / h are allowed. This can be topped 👌🚴

View of the River Elbe

Highlight • Viewpoint

No gravel, but not good asphalt... it is a view of the Elbe near Neu Darchau, but the point is wrongly positioned. It is actually near the former Alt Garge power station

Bleckede Elbe Ferry

Highlight • Structure

The Elbe ferry Bleckede takes you to the other side of the river for a mere 1 euro per person and 50 cents per bike. The ferry runs at regular intervals throughout the day. You can find the exact times at: bleckede.de/home/verkehr-umwelt/verkehr/elbfaehre.aspx

Former watchtower and border facility

Highlight • Historical Site

The tower is closed. However, it is in good condition. Also the former Matallgitterzaun can be seen here. Also this is German history. Unfortunately
