Cuxhaven ...is the "northernmost tip" of Lower Saxony and a true maritime highlight. The city is situated directly at the mouth of the Elbe River, where it flows into the North Sea, and is best known for its vast mudflats and bustling ship traffic. Must-sees in Cuxhaven: The Kugelbake: This wooden landmark, standing approximately 30 meters tall, marks the point where the Elbe ends and the open North Sea begins. Alte Liebe: A historic viewing platform at the harbor, from which you can observe massive container ships and cruise liners up close. Mudflat Walk to Neuwerk: At low tide, you can set out on foot—or via a Wattwagen (horse-drawn carriage)—to reach the island of Neuwerk; the journey takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. Duhnen & Sahlenburg: These districts boast fine sandy beaches and serve as the main tourist hubs for beachgoers. A few fascinating facts: Connection to Hamburg: For centuries, Cuxhaven belonged to Hamburg. It was not until 1937—under the Greater Hamburg Act—that it became Prussian territory (and later part of Lower Saxony). UNESCO World Heritage Site: The city serves as the gateway to the Wadden Sea National Park, a protected area recognized as a globally unique ecosystem. Maritime History: At the Windstärke 10 Museum, you can learn all about the history of fishing and the perilous seafaring conditions of days gone by.
