Experience Wilhelmsburg - The great bicycle tour!

Our bike tour starts at the entrance to the old Elbetunnel in St. Pauli. Right through the middle of the former free tax port, you will enter the old Wilhelmsburg quarter. Upgrading processes within the framework of the Senate's concept of „ Leap across the Elbe" have left their mark here: Not only did the redevelopment progress, but rents also exploded and the formerly disreputable workers' district suddenly became a trendy place. Our journey leads along the industrial canals to the old War bunker in the so-called „world quarter". There we pass the Soulkitchen-Hall, where Fatih Akin shot his film of the same name. On the 30 meter high observation platform of the Warbunker we have a fantastic view over the whole Elbe island. The route continues on to Wilhelmsburger Mitte, where the buildings of the IBA 2013 will be inspected, then through the old station district to the old Elbe, Johanna Windmill and later directly on the Norderelbe. The scenically very beautiful at Bunthäuser Spitze where the river elbe divides to the north- and the southelbe on the green side of Wilhelmsburg.

Almost 10 million standard containers are handled annually in the Port of Hamburg. Many Hamburg citizens are directly or indirectly dependent on the port for their work. We will explore this one piece by piece. This modern part of port is the money printing machine of Hamburg. During our three and a half hour tour, we will first pass through the old warehouse district(Speicherstadt) where the 19th century was still very much alive until 20. Century the center of the goods handling lay. The tour continues to Baakenhafen, where the ships of the Africa Lines used to stopp. Passing the north Elbe bridges, we follow the old free port: the Moldau- and Saale ports, and finally the Hansa port with the Bremen quay.

Afterwards we will go to the Elbe island Wilhelmsburg to the Ballinstadt, where at the end of the 19th century the city of Ballin was founded. At the beginning of the 20th century hundreds of thousands of emigrants temporarily took up their quarters to start the crossing to America. Via green paths we then reach the Wilhelmsburg Reiherstieg quarter, which was also built at this time as a residential area for dock and shipyard workers. Today multicultural, it impresses in parts with some beautiful old buildings. Following old waterways, an old war bunker from is then on our program. From the viewing platform at a height of 30 metres, we enjoy a magnificent view of the entire Hamburg harbour.

Already awarded a Grand Prix at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900, the cemetery is also a particularly beautiful recreational area. Under old trees you can enjoy the green wealth of our city. Around 450 species of deciduous and coniferous trees and shrubs thrive here, and the ponds and streams are busier with waterfowl than almost any other in our city.

Landscape Tours in Hamburgs Eastern Parts:
Bikeride through Rothenburgsort, Entenwerder, Kaltehofe- through the marshlands to Ochsenwerder
„Rothenborgs Ort" - once the place where Hamburg's patricians, the so called „ hamburg pepper sacks" who had become rich through trade and shipping, settled as early as the 16th century, escaping the noisy city, building their first country houses, their summery Eldorado, here our tour begins. In the district that was built at the end of the 19th century. In the nineteenth century it became the residential area of the modern industrial proletariat like hardly any other. Beautiful Wilhelminian-style buildings with rich stucco decoration formed the backdrop for one of the liveliest districts of Hamburg during this period. Little has remained of all this, because hardly any district of Hamburg was built in the 2nd century. World War 2 destroyed as much as Rothenburgsort. But we want to take what little there is left with us before continuing on to Entenwerder. Once the site of the customs port, the area has now become a beautiful park. at the Elbe. Along the Elbe dyke, the journey continues to Kaltehofe, where Hamburg's first filtration plants for clean drinking water were built after the terrible hamburg cholera epidemic. Closed since 1990, today an eldorado for migratory birds resting here. And for green amphibians of all kinds. A few kilometres further on we are in the middle of the marshes on the island of Billwerder. Colloquially, it is spoken of the „Vier- und Marschlanden". Here the people lived mainly from agriculture, from growing grain, also cabbage and later potatoes, which were transported on small ships to the markets in the city. In addition to the never-ending work, there was a constant struggle for survival. Again and again the dikes broke, the villages and houses were destroyed by the enormous high tides of the Elbe.

In contrast to this is the splendour of beautiful churches in the different villages. They bear witness to the wealth of the larger landowners who were in charge of the village. We will enjoy the enchanting landscape around the Dove and the Gose Elbe. We cycle along the route of the former marshland railway, absorb the scent of lush meadows and flowering fields. In Ochsenwerder we visit St. Pankratius with the baroque Arp Schnitger organ. The cemetery forms with the old community hall from the 17th century a unique sight. Century a picturesque ensemble. In Fünfhausen we meet huge bracks. Silent witnesses of the great storm tides, they give the country a very special magic today. Passing such bracks, we continue on to Neu-Allermöhe, where our tour ends after about 4 1/2 hours at an S-Bahn stop.

Landscape Tours in Hamburgs "Old Lands":
Cycle tour through the Alte Land - Neuenfelde, Cranz and Jork to Buxtehude
Our tour begins with a nice ferry ride from the Landungsbrücken to the ferry pier Finkenwerder. Arrived there, the following bike tour leads us first through a part of Finkenwerder. We see the Gorch-Fock-Park, then the Rüschpark, where once the largest Hamburg shipyard, the Deutsche Werft, was located. There in Rüschpark we see Teufelsbrück on the other side of the Elbe. Then the tour takes us to the nature reserve of the Alte Süderelbe before we finally reach the Alte Land at Neuenfelde. The largest closed fruit growing area in Germany. In the pretty village we see the old St. Pankratius parish church, built in 1682, also beautiful farmhouses, most of which are listed. But only a few steps further on, we see how a few years ago, a battle that had lasted for years „David against Goliath, was finally won by the arms company called Airbus. Today the runway for the airplanes extends to the edge of Neuenfelde. The journey now continues at a leisurely pace to Cranz. Under Danish rule for many years, this small district has only belonged to Hamburg since 1937. We see the Sietas shipyard and the River Este barrage, where we enjoy a beautiful view to the other side, called Blankenese. Here at the Mühlenberger Loch the river has a width of over 2 kilometres.
