In the autumn months, the Falkenstein riverbank attracts visitors to take a leisurely stroll along the water. With a view over the Elbe, you can enjoy nature here and recharge your batteries. Ambitious walkers can start the run at the Oevelgönner Museum harbor and stroll down the Elbe to the Falkensteiner Ufer in about two hours.

Hiking in Hamburg's flat country? The mountains around Harburg make it possible. South of the Elbe, dense forests and large areas of heathland invite you to take excursions into nature. On the marked hiking trails you can admire the autumnal colorfulness of the trees. The "climbers" will also be rewarded with idyllic views and wonderful silence.

Ohlsdorf Cemetery is not only the largest cemetery in Europe, but also an inviting park with impressive natural areas. In autumn, the cemetery in the north of Hamburg turns into a colorful sea of leaves. The park offers the ideal opportunity for long walks outside in the fresh air. On Halloween, the cemetery then promises the necessary creepy factor for an eerily beautiful walk.

In a list of the most beautiful destinations for an autumn walk, of course, the Heathland of Lüneburg should not be missing. The warm summer has done a great job and dipped the heath in an incomparable lilann hue. Hiking trails are here for every demand and taste. Probably the most beautiful round leads to the Wilseder Berg.
