Along the Elbe

Take a little time to linger by the river: the protected, extensive, tree-lined banks of the Elbe between the Teufelsbrück quay and Schulau are a relaxation area for locals and a must for all visitors to the Hanseatic City. Splendid white villas surrounded by age-old trees, the picturesque captain’s cottage built against the steep bank of the Elbe and the extensive parks characterise the landscape, where Hamburg’s great Patrician families once had their summer residences constructed.
