Otterndorf Old Town
Otterndorf
A small town on the Elbe with a well-preserved old quarter of half-timbered houses and a river-mouth beach, easy to explore by bike.
Otterndorf lies about 17 km southeast of Cuxhaven and is the central small town of the Hadeln region. Its old town preserves many 17th- and 18th-century half-timbered and brick houses, the old town hall, and St. Severi Church, which houses a famous Baroque organ from northern Germany. Along the Elbe are a beach and a lakeside bathing area. Regional trains take about 15 minutes, or you can cycle along the Elbe dike. It's ideal for a half-day trip.
