The Elbe meadows on the other side of the street offer a wide range of leisure activities. The city center with its famous sights can be reached by bike in less than 10 minutes. There are several good restaurants with beer gardens in the immediate vicinity. A special feature is the Ball- und Brauhaus Watzke, famous for its “Canaletto view” of the old town, directly on the Elbe. As a concert hall with a restaurant and beer garden, it contributes to the cultural diversity of the city. All everyday necessities are within walking distance (bakeries, butchers, various discount stores, pharmacy, etc.) in the Mickten streetcar station shopping center and the Elbecenter.
