Elbstrand — Attraction in Hamburg

Elbstrand – A Slice of Beach in the City, unique and refreshing escape within Hamburg, where urban energy meets riverside calm. The beach offers lovely views of the Elbe River, passing ships, and even massive container vessels, giving it a truly one-of-a-kind charm. It’s a great spot to relax, take a stroll, or enjoy a picnic with friends.

That said, it’s not your typical soft-sand, swim-friendly beach.. the sand can be coarse, and swimming isn’t recommended due to the strong currents and busy ship traffic. On sunny days, it can also get quite crowded, and there aren’t many nearby facilities (like toilets or food vendors), so it’s best to come prepared.

Still, for a beach day in the heart of Hamburg, Elbstrand offers a peaceful vibe, especially at sunset. Great for locals and curious visitors who want a different view...

U prehrišćanskom verovanju voda je sama po sebi bila božanstvo. Ona je imala svojstvo ličnosti sa kojom se komuniciralo ravnopravno.

Voda je najvažnija supstanca na planeti. U vodi je nastao život i to je osnovna materija koju unosimo u organizam. Ukupno 97% vode na Zemlji je slano, 2.1% je zarobljeno u ledenim santama na polovima Zemlje. To znači da je manje od 1% sveža pijaća voda, otprilike oko 0.4%.

Laba (češ. Labe), Elba (nem. Die Elbe), Łobjo (lužičkosrpski) je jedna od najvećih srednjoevropskih reka. Izvire u Češkoj. Duga je 1165 km. Sliv reke se svojim najvećim delom prostire u Nemačkoj (65,5%), zatim u Češkoj (33,7%), a veoma malim delom u Austriji (0,6%) i Poljskoj (0,2%). Uliva se u Severno more kod Kukshavena, blizu ulaza u Kilski kanal.

Ime reci su možda dali Kelti koji su njene vode zaposeli u starom veku. Keltsko slovo (možda 'elb') značilo je naprosto velika reka i javlja se u mnogo reka u Švedskoj i prema nekim izvorima ima ishodište u indoevropskim jezicima u značenju beli i svetao ili čist, a u mnogim antičkim pomenima se reka naziva "Albis" sa značenjem beli, svetao, čist. Češko ime je nastalo verovatno od germanskog "Alba" i jedino je ime reke koje nije ženskog roda. Zahvaljujući Keltima je Vltava smatrana za pritoku Elbe, a ne...

Great public beach! Cool spot for a picnic. There is public parking on the streets about 500 meters from the beach with access via a steep staircase (Himmelsleiter). We brought a picnic dinner and enjoyed the view. We saw a freighter docking. People were swimming, playing Kuub (Wikingerschach), Spikeball, and volleyball. Dog friendly. It was a cool location to hang out and...
