Außenmühlenteich (Outer Mill Pond)

Highlight • Lake

The Midsommerland swimming pool is located on the outside mill. There are divided opinions on this. A hike or a walk around the lake is therefore all the more recommendable. The lake has several small partitions and you can use different longer and shorter ways around the lake.

Hamburg-Harburg Lighthouse

Highlight • Restaurant

The Hamburg-Harburg lighthouse is a unique gourmet island in an idyllic location in the south of Hamburg. In summer, you will often see a pretty bride here, as weddings are often celebrated here.

South Shore of Außenmühlenteich

Highlight • Lake

The 3 km long circular route around the Außenmühlenteich is particularly beautiful. Those who go from the riverside paths into the hilly forest areas will be particularly rewarded with diverse, beautiful views of the water surfaces.

Bust of Georg Hölscher

Highlight • Monument

The bust of Georg Hölscher, who designed the park over 100 years ago, is very hidden in the middle of the park.

View of Bramfelder See

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you can take a little break. The view is like vacation and a small picnic can perhaps be held on the Pank.

Ludowieg Fountain

Highlight • Monument

In 1886 Julius Ludowieg became mayor and in 1888 mayor of Harburg. In 1892 he was elected to the Prussian House of Representatives. During his tenure, he was particularly committed to the construction of a water pipe in Harburg. Due to the clean drinking water, Harburg only had a few cases of illness during the cholera epidemic of 1892. On September 30, 1899, Julius Ludowieg inaugurated the Old Harburg Elbe Bridge.

May 19, 2023,Rundweg um Außenmühlenteich

First day of our Hamburg-Baltic Sea-Amsterdam tour. I used the free afternoon to explore the Harburg city park. A green paradise with lots of geese and pedal boats. A real oasis of relaxation for a city park. Remarkable: There is also a Jacobsweg here.

Today we met our Buchholz friends halfway at the Lighthouse 🗼 restaurant. Between two showers 🌧 we circled this really beautiful pond 🛶. The Harburg city park is always suitable for a little leisurely walk 👍. Our companion on the round was a gray heron 🪶 who kept meeting us along the way. Thanks to our dear friends 👩🏼 🤝 …

On Sunday afternoon we went out into the fresh air again and around a body of water again. This time not a lake, but a pond.

A well-developed hiking and cycling path leads around the Harburg Outer Mill Pond. Ideal for going for a walk and switching off.

After an appointment in Harburg today, I had a bit of time in the afternoon for this spontaneous little walk around the Harburg Outer Mill. A lovely, relaxed walk in the sunshine, with sightings of various water birds.

May 15, 2025,Speed-Runde 🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️ am angenehm kühlen und 🔆 Morgen

A little unplanned today, but only a little.
No hike planned for today, but rather cleaning. The landlord is carrying out general renovations, and my apartment is finished. Now it's time to clean and put everything back in its place.
Before I really get started, I took a quick walk. This time the focus was on speed.

After shopping, a nice, relaxed chat with a friend in the best weather. There are plenty of grey and Canada geese and of course families of mallards to admire at this time of year. All the animals are used to people and dogs, and let people get surprisingly close.
Of course, the wooden walkway is a must on the walk …
