Stadersand jetty
Stade's gateway to the world
The Stadersand jetty is located just a few kilometres outside of Stade’s town centre. Here, the river Schwinge flows into the Elbe, and tourist boat trips depart from the jetty in the direction of Hamburg, Glückstadt or Cuxhaven, where the vast North Sea awaits. At the jetty, there are a restaurant and seating areas where you can dine and relax with a view of the water and watch the giant container ships, boats and more.
Jetties
From the Stadersand jetty out onto the river Elbe! For many years, guests with packed bags could board a river cruise ship bound for Amsterdam or Dresden here, and excursion boats still depart today.
Pötte gucken – Watching the Container ships
The river Elbe is a busy place. Every day, the so-called “dicke Pötte” (huge container ships) pass the Stadersand jetty on their way to the Hanseatic city of Hamburg or from there to the North Sea and to other places all over the world. If you are at the jetty, you can watch container/freight and cruise ships of all sizes and origins. Especially on hot days, sailors and smaller boats are drawn to the river Elbe and there is plenty of hustle and bustle to admire from the shore.
Let your soul unwind
Five new loungers invite you to take a rest with a view of the Elbe. The curved wooden benches offer space for one or two people who want to relax with a fantastic overview.
The benches were installed to improve the infrastructure as part of the Hanseatic city of Stade’s water tourism concept.
Relax & feast
Enjoy coffee, cake and all kinds of snacks with a stunning panoramic view – all from the Stadersand jetty. “Elbblick” is a self-service café and restaurant, which offers seating both in the large conservatory and on the outdoor terrace right by the water. Here, the ships seem close enough to touch.
For German speakers, a special treat on Thursdays from 12.00 noon to 6.00 pm are witty ship announcements while you enjoy your coffee break.
