Are you looking for a vacation rental in the heart of an organic fruit farm on the Elbe island of Krautsand, near a sandy beach (400 m) along the Elbe River, where you can experience cruise ships up close? The island is connected to the mainland by two bridges. Starting in 1620, the first proper houses were built on Krautsand, constructed on earthen mounds (Wurten) to provide protection against the Elbe’s storm surges.
It wasn’t until 1976 that Krautsand was enclosed by dikes. Typical features of Krautsand include the houses on mounds,
the thatched-roof houses, the fruit farms, the pastures, the small nature reserves, the harbors,
the small seafarers’ church dedicated to the Good Shepherd, and the beautiful sandy beach, which, together with the adjacent mudflats, stretches for about 7 km. Between the dike and the beach, trees and willows offer shelter from the wind, rain, and sun. Here you can relax on the magnificent sandy beach, watch ships large and small in the nearby shipping channel, and safely explore the mudflats at low tide—all without having to pay a visitor’s tax. You can explore Krautsand on 20 km of bike and hiking trails. The Hanseatic city of Stade is only about 22 km away.
