Bike tour through Hamburg
Where would you like to go? By bike to the Wittenbergen lighthouse or to the Elbphilharmonie concert hall?
Bicycle tour into the countryside
Down the Elbe by bike
Blankenese staircase district
Down the Elbe, the wide Elbe cycle path leads you parallel to the riverbank past the sailing clubs of the upmarket Elbe suburb of Blankenese: below the Hirschpark (where there is actually a large deer enclosure) you pass the Mühlenberger Segelclub - the western Eldorado for water sports enthusiasts who like to take a quick boat trip on the Elbe at the end of the day. A little further on you come to the Strandweg. This is where the famous Treppenviertel begins.
Beach in the direction of Wittenbergen
The route continues along the water to Wittenbergen, the next beacon. In summer, people splash around in the Elbe here, but be careful! The suction of the large container ships is easily underestimated and the force of the river is immense.
Cycle tour towards the metropolis
Up the Elbe by bike
Övelgönner beach
First you pass the Teufelsbrück ferry terminal, stately villas and the harbor on your right. You then reach Övelgönne and the small captain's cottages.
Fish auction hall
From Övelgönner Museumshafen, you cycle along the Alte Elbstraße for a short time on cobblestones, passing the Altona cruise terminal and shortly afterwards the fish market with the fish auction hall.
Elbphilharmonie
We then continue along the wide cycle path towards the Elbphilharmonie concert hall. On the right you can admire Blohm & Voss' largest floating dock and on the left the relics of the turbulent occupation times in the 1990s: the Hafenstraßenhäuser. A few hundred meters further on you reach the Landungsbrücken - the starting point for countless harbour tours. With a view of the reflective façade of the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, the route then continues towards HafenCity.
The perfect starting point
Louis C. Jacob Hotel Hamburg
Located directly on the Elbchaussee, the Louis C. Jacob is the perfect starting point for relaxed cycling tours through Hamburg and along the Elbe. After your tour, stylishly furnished rooms, Hanseatic hospitality and first-class service that leaves nothing to be desired await you.
