A stroll along the Elbe from Blankenese to Wittenbergen is always worthwhile.
You might think you are at the North Sea during a walk along the Elbe. On rainy days, the Elbe can whip itself up like the ocean. But there are also many warm and sunny days. Here, the river is 500 metres wide and reminds one of the sea: The ebb and flow of the water provides a quite decent tide. Wittenbergen beach in Blankenese is popular with people from all over Hamburg. You go down to the beach starting from the Blankenerser Treppenviertel, and from there as far as your rubber boots can take you. The sometimes gigantic container ships from all over the world contribute to the vast impression one gets here.
