Cuxhaven district

A North Sea coastal resort at the mouth of the Elbe River, combining the Wadden Sea World Heritage site, maritime history, and lighthouse harbor charm.

Cuxhaven district is located in northern Lower Saxony, between the mouths of the Elbe and Weser rivers, bordering the Wadden Sea World Heritage site on the North Sea. Cuxhaven's landmarks, such as the Kugelbake beacon, the Alte Liebe pier, and the Elbe 1 lightship, tell the story of maritime history, while the Hapag-Hallen witnessed the history of ocean emigration. The beaches of Döse, Duhnen, and Sahlenburg are ideal for health retreats and walking on the mudflats at low tide. Inland, there is Ritzebüttel Castle, and the old town of Otterndorf preserves its rustic charm. Summer is the best time for a seaside holiday, while spring and autumn are suitable for cycling. You can take a train from Hamburg to Cuxhaven.
