Bistal Gorge
Highlight • Gorge
The Bistal is crossed by the stream coming from the north and belongs to the communities Escheburg and Kröppelshagen-Fahrendorf in roughly equal proportions.
The area is about five kilometers from the south-eastern border of Hamburg and is located between the Hamburg district of Bergedorf and the city of Geesthacht.
The Bistal is located directly in the bacon belt of Hamburg in the scenic area between Sachsenwald in the north and Elbe in the south. It is part of the forested Geesthang, which stretches from Hamburg-Bergedorf via Börnsen and Escheburg to Geesthacht and which in the prehistory was the northern bank of the Elbe-Urstromtal and is continuously about 50 meters above the flat marsh.
The Bistal was created around 15,000 to 80,000 years ago, similar to the nearby Dalbekschlucht nature reserve. At that time, especially the Vistula ice age, the glaciers from the north had come to a standstill in the area of today's Holstein. The masses of water from the melting glaciers dug their way deep into the earth to the Elbe glacial valley. This created this 20 to 40 meter deep erosion canyon.
The Bistal passes into a forest area in the north, which is a foothill of the community-free Saxony forest.
