Rufzwerg Statue Opposite Hitzacker

Highlight • Monument

In Hitzacker they are now a celebrity.
Legend has it that many years ago, there were dwarfs who helped the people of Hitzacker.
For this they got to eat and drink. One night, a hungry wanderer came into the city. He could no longer find a place to eat. But he found the bowl with the food, which was reserved for the dwarfs. He ate it up and put a big "heap" in the bowl.
These found the dwarves instead of the promised food. They became very angry and disappeared from Hitzacker. So the legend.
Today, many bronze dwarves are distributed in Hitzacker. One even here on the opposite bank of the Elbe at Bitter.
So, if you come to Hitzacker, be sure to check out the midgets.

Beautiful section of the Elbe Cycle Path between Herrenhof and Pommau. Both the path on the top of the dyke (from here you have a beautiful view of the Elbe landscape) and the farm road facing away from the dyke are easy to drive
