Glückstadt Harbour and Historic Old Town

The church was built from 1618-1623. Start of construction was still before the foundation of the city. The tower collapsed in 1648 in a natural disaster.

Elbe Cycle Path at Brokdorf

Highlight • Cycleway

Very nice piece of the Elbe bike path. Also in the rain very photogenic :) But you have to note that there is no protection in the storm.

Brunsbüttel Mole 1 Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The Kiel Canal was officially opened on June 21, 1895 as the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal. Several lighthouses mark the outskirts of the lock approaches at both ends. They stand on four pier heads on the Elbe. The lights on Mole 1 and Mole 2 are still preserved and went into operation in 1895.

In 1914 new locks and also new pier lighthouses, pier 3 and pier 4, were built.

The entrance to the NOK is exposed to a high risk of accidents and here in Brunsbüttel repair costs of up to one million are incurred every year.

Mole 1, which belongs to the old lock, was completely renovated in the 1990s. The pier head threatened to collapse. The tower was removed to allow the pier to be rebuilt.

The renovated tower now stands on a base at a distance of 50 cm from the surrounding solid concrete ring of the pier head. In the event of recent accidents, the tower is only endangered if the separately founded concrete ring is shifted by more than one meter.

Lowest Point in Germany

Highlight • Natural Monument

The lowest point in Germany is visually not a spectacular, but a very impressive place. It is 3.54 meters below sea level - the water here would be around five meters high at normal flood if the Elbe dyke didn't exist. It becomes even more impressive when you stand in front of the mast with the displays of the storm surge levels at this point. Only then does one really become aware of the elemental forces associated with the Elbe.
