Historic Harbour of Buxtehude

Highlight • Historical Site

The harbor was once the heart of Buxtehude. The Hanseatic city was the first city to be built systematically around a central harbor basin. Cargo ships anchored in the harbor basin located in front of the city.

Afterwards, they were loaded and unloaded in the Fleth, the inner-city harbor canal. Until the 19th century, the harbor offered an important connection for long-distance transport via the Lower Elbe.

Buxtehude Old Town

Old town with pedestrian zone and many small streets with little traffic - beautiful half-timbered houses everywhere.

Finkenwerder Ferry Terminal (Steamboat Pier)

Highlight • Rest Area

Finkenwerder is approached by two harbor ferries of the HVV, the 64 and 62. The harbor ferry 64 goes to Teufelsbrück and the harbor ferry 62 to St. Pauli-Lndungsbrücken. For the people the Finkenwerder live and work, an important and fast connection to Hamburg.

In addition, line 62 in particular offers incredible views of the Elbe, Hamburg and the harbor.

March 10, 2026,10.03.2026 Mit dem Trangia Kocher zum Anleger Rüschpark

I've cycled this route many times before. What was new, however, was that I had my Trangia stove with me for the first time, which I bought during the off-season. I enjoyed cooking my lunch right on the banks of the Elbe River, near the Rüschpark landing stage. Fried potatoes and a fried egg, accompanied by a delicious Königspilsner. Everything …

The weather actually looked pretty good when I got on my bike at around 10 a.m. But I didn't expect it to be so windy during the tour. Not only was I put under a lot of strain, but the battery was too.
