Övelgönne Elbstrand
Övelgönne
A city beach on the north bank of the Elbe, where you can sit in a beach bar and watch giant container ships glide past, plus a free museum harbour of historic ships.
Övelgönne lies on the Elbe bank in the Altona district. Behind a row of well-preserved pilots' and captains' houses stretches a long sandy beach, with the container terminal across the river. From the sand you can watch enormous ships come and go up close. The Strandperle beach bar is where locals drink beer and watch the sunset. To the west, the Museumshafen (museum harbour) has old steamships and a lightship that you can visit for free. The easiest route is the No. 62 ferry from the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken to the Neumühlen/Övelgönne stop.
