DHanseatic City Stade
Old half-timbered houses, cobblestones, the old Hanseatic harbour, the proximity to the water - attributes which are associated with a Hanseatic town and are found in Stade in exactly the same way. Over ten million fruit trees bloom every spring at the gates of the Hanseatic city of Stade. A day trip to the Lower Saxon town on the Lower Elbe is worthwhile.
