Centrally located between the Hanseatic cities of Hamburg and Lüneburg The Elbe at river kilometre 581. On the opposite side you can see the Geestrücken. An enchanting and unspoilt legacy of the last ice age. Up to this point, the advancing glaciers pushed the land up to form walls, some of which were over 100 metres high. The primeval valley of the Elbe with its fertile marshes subsequently formed at the borders of these earth upheavals. The place name Marschacht also refers to these once marshy landscapes. With the start of dyke construction at the beginning of the 12th century, attempts were made to tame the river. The mighty power of the elements can still be seen today during the regular floods. Sometimes the entire foreland floods within hours. The Elbe water then reaches our dyke. With a bit of luck, you will see one of the inland waterway vessels leisurely passing by. They transport goods and merchandise between the nearby harbour of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg in the direction of Magdeburg or via various inland waterways to the capital Berlin.Holiday flat with inner courtyard, covered veranda and gardenHoliday flat for up to 3 people Garden furniture is available, as with all flats.
