The Buxtehuder Fleth is the oldest artificially created harbor basin of a city in Northern Europe, located in Buxtehude. It was created at the end of the 13th century with the founding of the city and, as an important monument, still connects the idyllic cityscape with the Este river today, bringing prosperity to Buxtehude in the Middle Ages. A visit is recommended to explore this historic core through the following highlights. Since 1991, this listed, flat-bottomed cargo ship Margaretha has been anchored in the Fleth, testifying to the maritime tradition of the old Hanseatic city. Water power plants have been operated here since as early as 1289. The building in its current form dates from 1860 and was later converted into a commercial building.

In the town of Zeven, there is a striking erratic boulder that serves as a monument to the fallen of the World Wars. This stone can be found in the municipal forest "Ahe" on Bäckerstraße and bears the inscription "Den Toten der Weltkriege" (To the fallen of the World Wars). The erection of this monument took place in 1960, after the planning was discussed in the town council from 1957 to 1960. The naming of individual names was omitted for this specific erratic boulder monument.

A great city with many sights, hiking trails and bike paths. SCULPTURE DOG: In Buxtehude, a city with Dutch settlers, bells were already rung with a rope when elsewhere they were still struck with a hammer. The bells were called "dogs" and the rope soon looked like a tail, so the ringing turned into barking, and that's why dogs in Buxtehude bark with their tails today. The sculpture is located in the Bahnhofstraße in Buxtehude.
