Elbinselroute: Altes Land am Elbstrom Cycling Tour

Island romance meets moorland experience! The idyllic Elbe island of Krautsand is characterized by mounds, thatched-roof houses, orchards, small ports, and a fine sandy beach. The new Elbstrandresort almost exudes a somewhat sophisticated atmosphere - a beautiful contrast to the islander feeling. Crossing the drawbridge, you leave the island and drive through the vast moorland of Kehdingen. Upon prior arrangement, a ride with the Moorkiekerbahn through the Aschhorner Hochmoor is possible. During the two to three-hour tour, much is reported about the habitat of the moor. Via the Moorchaussee, you head back towards the Elbe, passing Abbenfleth and the Grauerort fortress. The impressive artillery fort is listed as a monument, guided tours available by appointment (Grauerort). From the Krautsand ship's landing stage, the flat-bottomed ship Tidenkieker regularly sets off on trips on the Elbe - registration through the tourist information in Kehdingen.
