About this property
At the gates of Hamburg in the old country
Our house is framed by orchards in the Steinkirchen district of Bachenbrock. The Elbe is in sight and you can watch the ships sailing there on their way from or to Hamburg. Close to our house you will find a penny market and a restaurant with a sun terrace. The following transport connections are available: bus to Stade, Buxtehude, Jork, Steinkirchen approx. 200 m away; Autobahn A26 approx. 6 km, S-Bahn connection towards Hamburg - Cuxhaven approx. 6 km; Ferry connection Lühe - Schulau 4km.
The start of Hamburg is about 25 km away.
In addition to a well-developed infrastructure, Steinkirchen offers a variety of leisure activities and relaxed living in the countryside. The Elbe dyke is ideal for hiking, skating and cycling. The outdoor pool with beach volleyball court, 2 km of sandy beach as well as museum and various club activities and inviting gastronomy complete the leisure offer.
From Stade or Dollern take the S-Bahn (HVV), by car via the motorway network from the Dollern exit, or via the Obstmarschenweg via the BAB7 exit Waltershof to the city of Hamburg. From Lühe-Schulau ferry in Grünendeich you can quickly reach Wedel and the west of Hamburg via the Elbe.
