Idyllic views: The Süllberg in Hamburg

The elegant district in the west is worth a visit because it offers the traveller an impressive view as well as the idyllic Elbe beach and the legendary Treppenviertel.

If you just want to relax and enjoy a little peace and quiet, you can do so in the beer garden with a view of sophisticated villas and arriving container ships.

Blankenese Shore: Beach Holiday in the Middle of Hamburg

The Blankenese beach is very unusual for a large city. In the middle of the Hanseatic City, guests will find beach hotels, bathing facilities and an amazing amount of peace and quiet.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Blankenese & Elbe outskirts

The former fishing and seamen's village of Blankenese is situated directly on the Elbe. It is the perfect starting point for hopping on a sailing boat or on the Elbe ferry, or for taking long walks along the shore. Another highlight is a visit to the…

On the Süllberg in Hamburg: Blankenese's best known elevation

At nearly 75 metres, the Süllberg is not the highest point, but the most famous elevation in rustic Blankenese. Instead of the former medieval castle, a restaurant has been located directly on the banks of the Elbe for over 100 years. Here you can spoil yourself with culinary delights and get to know the Hanseatic City from a different perspective. Everyone who successfully climbs the mountain is rewarded with an idyllic view of the Elbe. Because Blankenese in Altona is one of the most hilly areas in Hamburg, you can enjoy the best view of the cultural metropolis with all its sights as well as the gigantic harbour area. After the descent you can stay at the Elbstrand. Who would have thought that Hamburg could be so idyllic and versatile!

With the "mountain goat" through Blankenese

If you don't want to walk up the many meters, you can use the Bergziege, or "mountain goat". The bus with the unusual name has been driving passengers through Blankenese for 50 years. Those who want to visit the winding lanes can use the bus line. It goes up to Kiekeberg, Süllberg, Waseberg and Kösterberg. If you like Blankenese, you should stay in one of the hotels on the beach. These offer an amazing summer atmosphere - and of course, the best service. From the hotel rooms, you have a fantastic view of the banks of the Elbe and the beaches of the city area. We also recommend a hike along the beach from Blankenese to the famous lighthouse of the city of Hamburg.
