Experience castles, palaces, dreamy half-timbered towns and harbors as well as fairytale and legendary figures.

The landscape is characterized by cows, sheep, pastureland and half-timbered houses. Many shipyards, ships and old cutters await you on the stretch from Lemwerder to Elsfleth.

At the quay in Elsfleth, the route leads past the sailing training ship "Lissi". Further north in the town of Brake (Unterweser), you can take a crossing on the "Guntsiet" to Harriersand or visit the Unterweser Maritime Museum.
