Schwedenschanze viewing tower on the Höhbeck

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Schwedenschanze on the Höhbeck is a historical fortification that got its name from its use by Swedish troops during the Thirty Years' War. Today the Schwedenschanze is an interesting destination for those interested in history and hikers who want to immerse themselves in history and enjoy nature at the same time. The observation tower offers you a fantastic all-round view of the southern section of the Lower Saxony Elbe Valley Biosphere Reserve. From the platform you can see the impressive Elbe, which winds through the landscape. The riparian forests, wet meadows and sand banks that surround Europe's fourth largest river are a habitat for numerous bird species, insects and the Elbe beaver.

The Elbe floodwaters are slowly draining away and this time they did not reach dangerous heights. Nevertheless, the extent of the river is always impressive.
