Today we’re going on a journey along the Elbe. From Kehdingen in the northeast of Lower Saxony to the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony. On the way, we’ll present you with a selection of holiday houses that will whet your appetite for exploring the landscapes, the cities, the culture and the history of one of the longest rivers in Central Europe.

If you’re the sporty type, you can do this trip by bike on the Elbe Cycle Route. This long-distance cycle path accompanies the river from its source in the Krkonose Mountains all the way to Cuxhaven, where the Elbe flows into the North Sea. 840 of the route’s approx. 1260 kilometres flow through Germany.
