Here the boize flows into the sude. Actually, it looks like the leaner here is flowing into the boize, but it's the other way round. The Boize is a 30 kilometer tributary of the 85 kilometers much longer Sude.
The Boize rises west of the Schaalsee and the Seedorfer Kuechensee in the east of Schleswig-Holstein near the village Seedorf at a height of about 40 m above sea level. NHN in a wooded area called Birkenort. From here, the boize runs in a southerly direction initially very winding, until it forms the border between Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on a section east of Gudow.
On Mecklenburgian territory, the largely straightened Boize under Lüttow-Valluhn underpasses the Federal Highway 24 and runs parallel to the Federal Highway 195. In Boizenburg / Elbe, the Boize feeds a ring-shaped ditch system around the city center with ramparts. The last meters of the river are developed as a port facility, at which also the old Elbewerft Boizenburgs was. Here at the northern tip of the biosphere reserve Flusslandschaft Elbe-Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the Boize flows into the Sude, which itself flows into the Elbe after a few meters on the right.
The mouth of the Sude was relocated in 1983 from the place Gothmann in the Boizenburg port entrance, so that the Boize became the tributary of the Sude. Previously, the bogee flowed directly into the Elbe.
The source of the Boize lies to the south of the North Sea Baltic Sea watershed, because while the water reaches the North Sea via the Sude and Elbe, the Ratzeburg Lake, which lies just a few kilometers north of the source, drains into the Baltic Sea via the Wakenitz. Tributaries of the Boize include the Grenzgraben Klein-Zecher, the Gudower Grenzgraben, the Waldmoorbach, the Färbergraben and numerous drainage ditches.

View of the Sude River Mouth

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you can clearly see how the Sude flows into the Elbe.
The Sude is an 85 kilometer long, right (eastern) tributary of the Elbe in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Lower Saxony
The Sude rises in a forest near the Black Moor between Renzow and Groß Welzin and from there crosses the Dümmersee to the east. The water then flows away in a southerly direction. Near Bandenitz it crosses under the federal highway 24. It flows past Hagenow to the east.
The river then runs in a fairly elongated right-hand arc to the west, north past Lübtheen and crosses the Lower Saxon community of Amt Neuhaus.
Finally, the Sude flows west of Boizenburg/Elbe at Elbe river kilometer 559.52 into the Elbe, which in this area is the border river with Lower Saxony.
From 1842 onwards, the Sude flowed into the Elbe at kilometer 557 near Gothmann. The course was relocated to the Boizenburg harbor around 1983, so that the Boize became a tributary of the Sude.

May 27, 2023,Grünes Band Teil 13 Lauenburg ->Boizenburg
Today we continue our tour along the Green Belt, the former inner-German border. First it goes over the Elbe-Lübeck Canal to the historic Palmschleuse on the outskirts of Lauenburg. The Delvenau-Stecknitz canal, completed in 1398, used to run here and is the oldest in Northern Europe. Above all, salt was transported from Lüneburg to Lübeck via 17 locks.
Then our …

Beauty overload? There is! 😍 Boizenburg with its historic ramparts, the willow walk and the small harbor totally blew me away today. The three "highlights" would have been enough for a great hike.
But it wasn't going to stop there... ➜ see pictures! I don't have the time for lengthy texts. 😅
It's also worth …

The East is still a bit “wild” and sometimes has a dilapidated nature. In the residential areas, new luxury houses sit side by side with old ones. The most interesting part of the Elbe slope is also the most strenuous with a few meters of altitude and constant ups and downs. The subsequent path along the dike was a little …

Today from Schleswig-Holstein to Meck-Pomm, it also went along the former inner-German border, boundary stone no longer exists, but the old course based on the double-barreled fence posts.
