Tent / pitch at the mouth of the Elbe f. short holidaymakers
What is a good way to spend your vacation? Why not consider the natural beauty of Brunsbüttel, Germany? With its rolling hills and many vineyards, there are plenty of opportunities to get some fresh air and enjoy the scenery while taking a break from civilization. The Elbe River is just one example (of many) that makes this area so special - enjoy the pristine waters on either side as you head east or west, and take in the views like no other! And if biking isn't your thing, don't worry: history buffs will enjoy castles like Gottorf Castle near Schleswig-Holstein, while nature lovers can explore forests with picturesque cottages all around1

Sights in the area1
Eidersperrwerk barrier
The large storm-surge barrier at the mouth of the Eider that shields the marshland. At low tide seals rest on the sandbanks — the outing to make when the wind allows it.
Kiel Canal
The world's busiest artificial waterway starts at Brunsbüttel. The free Hohenhörn cable ferry takes you to the far bank without the detour over the big bridges.
Hochdonn railway bridge
The railway bridge carries the tracks high above the Kiel Canal. From below you see trains and freighters at once; the local photo stop, easy to reach by bike.
Hamburg
The Hanseatic city with its Außenalster and harbour lies about 71 kilometres up the Elbe. The big-city day for when the quiet coast calls for a change.
