On board the flat-bottomed ship Tidenkieker, you can experience the unique natural spectacle of the landscape along the river Elbe up close accompanied by experts.<\/p>\n

The journey across the expansive river Elbe and its tributaries is an exciting interplay of tides. Low and high tides, but also storms, have shifted the islands on the river, torn them apart or joined them together to form new islands. The Tidenkieker, with a draught of just 50 centimetres, can moor on the wide beaches, enter the tributaries and bring you extraordinarily close to the unique flora and fauna of this biotope.<\/p>\n

Experience the life of the Elbe tidal landscape up close: there’s nothing quite like the fresh sea breeze blowing through your hair while the experts from the Verein zur F\u00f6rderung von Naturerlebnissen<\/a> (Association for the Promotion of Nature Experiences) tell you all about the local flora and fauna.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Tidenkieker sets off on the river Elbe from Stade and offers a unique kind of nature experience that makes you feel like you’re on holiday and allows you to forget your everyday worries. Get out on the Elbe, let the wind blow through your hair and immerse yourself in the unique world of the maritime river landscape.<\/p>\n

Directly from Stade’s historic town centre down the river Schwinge and across the Elbe: the \u2018Paradise among the reeds\u2019 tour takes you past impressive container ships into what used to be Europe’s largest freshwater mudflats, the Haseldorfer Binnenelbe. A trip through the realm of reed warblers and white-tailed eagles and a stopover on the Elbe island of Pagensand are possible in good water and weather conditions.<\/p>\n

The tides, the mighty pulse of the sea, characterise the landscape on the Lower Elbe. Thousands of hobby skippers, captains of huge container ships and the Elbe fishermen on their cutters are guided by the tides that people here call the “Ebbe” (low tide) and “Flut” (high tide). From aboard the flat-bottomed ship Tidenkieker, you can experience this unique tidal landscape up close in the company of Lower Elbe experts.<\/p>\n

Route changes are possible depending on water and weather conditions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Set off on a journey to quiet bays and wide beaches with the island tour. There are 12 islands in the Elbe between Hamburg and the North Sea. Krautsand, where the Tidenkieker tour starts, was once in the middle of the river in 1575. The shallow draft of the Tidenkieker allows it to maneuver close to the shallow beaches along the Elbe and make a detour into the side arms of the river.

The Tidenkieker departs from Stade or Krautsand on the Elbe and offers a unique nature experience that allows you to escape everyday worries and feel like you are on holiday. Head out onto the river Elbe, feel the wind in your hair and immerse yourself in the unique world of the maritime landscape.
The Tidenkieker departs from the Krautsand jetty under the motto \u2018Waterkant\u2019, the Low German word for waterfront, to sail down the Elbe towards Wischhafen at low tide. Passing the Brammer sandbank and the internationally significant Allw\u00f6rdener Au\u00dfendeich nature reserve, the tour continues along the Rhinplate nature reserve with a view of the Schleswig-Holstein town of Gl\u00fcckstadt back to the Krautsand pier.
Directly from Stade’s historic town centre down the river Schwinge and then across the river Elbe: The \u2018Reed Paradises\u2019 tour takes you past impressive container ships to what was once Europe’s largest freshwater mudflats, the Haseldorfer Binnenelbe. A trip through the world of reed warblers and white-tailed eagles and a stopover on the Elbe island of Pagensand are possible if the water and weather conditions are good.
The Island Worlds tour takes you to quiet bays and wide beaches. There are twelve islands in the river Elbe between Hamburg and the North Sea. Krautsand, where the Tidenkieker tour \u2018Island Worlds\u2019 starts, was still located in the middle of the river in 1575. The shallow draught of the Tidenkieker allows the boat to manoeuvre close to the shallow beaches along the Elbe and make a detour into the side arms of the river.
The tides, the mighty pulse of the sea, shape the landscape of the Lower Elbe. Thousands of recreational skippers, captains of huge container ships and fishermen on their cutters are guided by the tides. From aboard the flat-bottomed Tidenkieker, you can experience this unique tidal landscape up close in the company of Lower Elbe experts.
