Alsterlauf Wellingsbüttel Riverside

Highlight • River

Here is a particularly beautiful place on the Alster, also because there is a shallow access to the water, where people and dogs can cool off a little. It is worthwhile to just stop here and take a break.

Along the Tarpenbek

Highlight • Cycleway

A great gravel route, completely hidden, on paved paths along the Tarpenbek. Simply quaint!
⚠️ The paths are not particularly wide and especially well attended on weekends. You can forget about heating, being considerate is the order of the day.
