About the campsite
Camping near the Lüneburg Heath
KNAUS Campingpark Bleckede/Elbtalaue is a campsite in Bleckede, northern Germany, around 30 km from the Lüneburg Heath. Set within the 'Niedersächsische Elbtalaue' Biosphere Reserve, this campsite offers marked pitches with and without shade and is a paradise for cyclists, walkers, water sports enthusiasts and anglers. The campsite has a playground and a sports area, and there is an entertainment programme too.
Cycling on the Elbe Cycle Route
The Waldbad outdoor pool, with its water slide, diving tower and playground, is free for camping guests and is right next to the campsite. For active holidaymakers, this campsite has a choice of cycling routes. The well-known and much-loved 'Elbe Radweg' (Elbe Cycle Route), the 'Deutsche Storchenstraße' (German Stork Route) and the beautiful natural surroundings invite you to head out on walks and bike rides, where you may come across the odd stork, crane or white-tailed eagle, and in winter thousands of geese and swans on the flooded Elbe meadows.
Tourist narrow-gauge railway to the sights
The 'Bleckeder Kleinbahn', a little tourist train that also carries bicycles, takes you past numerous tourist attractions. You can take boat and raft trips on the Elbe, go horse or pony riding a few kilometres further on, visit the climbing forest in Lüneburg-Scharnebeck, or explore the Hanseatic city of Hamburg with its international port.
Relaxing in the sauna
If you would like to unwind a little after a full day of holiday activities, you can also use the sauna at Campingpark Bleckede/Elbtalaue. Fresh bread is available for breakfast or a snack in between, and the snack bar is there for smaller appetites. And of course, there is a Wi-Fi point on the campsite, so you can keep in touch with those back home.
