Beach walk - from Wedel to Övelgönne

The Elbe, a river that tells stories and unfolds its very own magic at any time of year. Whether it's the first rays of sunshine of the year, a dip in the cool water on one of the Elbe beaches or the feeling of the wind gently caressing your face - a hike from Wedel to Hamburg-Övelgönne along the Elbe is an experience for the senses. Over a distance of around 17 kilometers, the beauty of nature reveals itself in all its diversity. Long sandy beaches, idyllic Elbe parks and impressive nature reserves line the route. Two lighthouses, silent guardians of time, point the way, while large and small ships spread a maritime atmosphere. A special highlight is the charming staircase district in Blankenese. The winding alleyways with their white houses and flowering gardens exude a Mediterranean flair reminiscent of southern climes. Numerous cafés and restaurants along the route invite you to linger - whether with a view of the Elbe or in a cozy atmosphere. The route is flexible and well connected to local public transport. If you prefer to return to Wedel or Hamburg by water, you can take the ferry on the "Elblinie" and enjoy the Elbe from a new perspective. An unforgettable experience that reveals the beauty of the Elbe in all its facets.
