Neuendorf-Sachsenbande: Water, Craftsmanship and Cycling Routes

Neuendorf-Sachsenbande is home to Germany’s lowest point. The Wilster-Au, cycling routes in the surrounding Wilstermarsch and an exhibition on historic craftsmanship offer different ways to plan a stay.

Historic Craftsmanship

The exhibition on historic craftsmanship includes a blacksmith’s workshop and a wheelwright’s workshop. These bring two different trades to life: the blacksmith’s workshop focuses on metalworking, while the wheelwright’s workshop is dedicated to making wagon wheels. This contrast offers a tangible insight into the history of craftsmanship. Guided visits can be arranged through the Landgasthof Zum Dückerstieg; please confirm access before your visit.

Water and Cycling

Boating, canoeing and fishing are possible on the Wilster-Au in Neuendorf-Sachsenbande. Water conditions and access may vary; check these details before setting out. There are numerous cycling routes in the surrounding Wilstermarsch. This gives you a choice of different activities: getting out on the water or cycling along routes through the marshland.

The Lowest Point on a Cycling Tour

Check the route signage and local conditions before setting off. A shorter cycling option in the wider Steinburg destination is the 15-kilometre Schloss-Tour.
