WOCHENENDER – DIE ELBE

From Cuxhaven to Wittenberge: Originating in the Czech Giant Mountains, the river Elbe enters the northern German lowlands from the Dresden Elbe valley widening. In the north it takes its way past picturesque towns, awakens the port of Hamburg to roaring life, until it finally flows into the North Sea near Cuxhaven. The Elbe, the white river, as it was once called, is sometimes narrow and gentle, sometimes wide and wild, and it almost always flows through Germany in its natural form.

This edition of WOCHENENDER explores places to the left and right of the river Elbe between Cuxhaven and Wittenberge. Many of them have not yet been discovered.
