EXCURSION DESTINATION IN HAMBURG TO THE HOLMER SAND MOUNTAINS WITH CHILDREN

The sand dune at the gates of the city!

Today we are going to Hamburg’s Speckgürtel – that’s what we affectionately call the District of Pinneberg in Schleswig Holstein. If the wanderlust for romping in the dunes and picnic under pine trees becomes great, then the Holmer Sandberge are the ideal favorite place to get the France-feeling on the doorstep. .

In the west of Hamburg, between Appen, Holm and Wedel we dive into the wonderful expanses of the Holmer Sandberge at the weekend. Even if the temperatures between the Elbe and the North Sea are usually not reminiscent of the south of France, the scenery to 100 percent. After we have parked our car coming from the Pinneberger Straße at the parking lot Eggernkamp/Catharinenhof, it goes off with occupied baguette in the luggage. We walk, run, jump over the North German dunes and let the wind blow around our noses. Under the canopies of pine trees, we think that the sand under our feet belongs to a French plage.

After the family hike of about 4 kilometers we quickly remember the provisions on our backs and look for the perfect picnic spot. We have the choice between dune and waterfront. On the shore of the idyllic little lake with mini-island, where many ducks and geese live, there is a nice resting place with benches and even a small shelter in case the rain surprises. You can’t believe that the lake is not nature made, but a former fire pond. The kids love this story. But we spread our blanket on the dune and remember the last summer in the south at the first bite into the baguette.
