Elbstrand Övelgönne

  Elbstrand Övelgönne sits along the banks of the Elbe River in Hamburg, adjacent to the picturesque neighborhood of Blankenese. Dating back to the 19th century, this waterfront area was once a key access point for local shipbuilders and fishermen. Today, Elbstrand Övelgönne serves as a popular spot for leisurely strolls, sunbathing, or picnicking, offering visitors a scenic view of passing cargo ships and the city's skyline. In August, when the weather is warm, you'll often find locals and tourists alike enjoying the beach-like atmosphere. Don't forget to check out the nearby historic buildings and enjoy a gelato from one of the local vendors as you take in the river views.
