Tent / pitch at the mouth of the Elbe f. short holidaymakers
A couple of pitches for self-sufficient campers in Brunsbüttel, where the Elbe flows into the North Sea. Those who come here are self-catering: there are no toilets or showers, but electricity can be connected. In the evening the fire basket burns. During the day, large ships pass through the Kiel Canal, at night the wind remains. The ground supports every motorhome, and there is plenty of parking space. The green coastal road runs flat along the water, all the way to the Eider Barrage in Dithmarschen.1

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.
