The Elbe River, with its rich history and breathtaking landscapes, is a true gem of Germany. Its waters have witnessed significant events throughout the centuries, such as the Siege of Magdeburg during the Thirty Years War in 1631. This historic event left an indelible mark on German history. One of the most remarkable sights along the the Festung Koenigstein fortress. Perched atop a hill overlooking the town of Koenigstein and nestled within the Elbsandsteingebirge (Elbe Sandstone Mountains) in Saxon Switzerland National Park, this fortress offers panoramic views that will leave you speechless. The national park itself is a haven for nature lovers, with its rugged cliffs and picturesque landscapes found within its boundaries. As you journey further along the river, you'll come across Hamburg's HafenCity district. Here stands one of Germany's architectural marvels -the Elbphilharmonie concert hall. Its striking design dominates Hamburg's skyline and has become an iconic symbol of this vibrant city. For a more leisurely experience on the Elbe River, hop aboard an excursion boat from HafenCity to enjoy stunning views while cruising past notable landmarks like Dresden's Altstadt at night. The illuminated historic buildings create a magical ambiance that transports you back in time. Heading north towards Lower Saxony brings you to Hitzacker near Elbhoehen-Wendland Nature Park. This tranquil spot showcases untouched natural beauty where wildlife thrives undisturbed by human presence. "Die Wildgänse kommen. . " ("The wild geese are coming. . ") echoes through Saxony as Tangermunde's St Stephens Church stands proudly on the banks of the Elbe River in Saxony-Anhalt region. It serves as a reminder of both religious heritage and cultural significance. Further downstream lies Bastei in Saxon Switzerland National Park –a place that seems taken straight out of a fairytale.
