The Blankenese & Elb Suburbs Book explores Blankenese and the Elb suburbs through six walks or bike tours. It covers not only the central district of Blankenese but also the nearby districts of Klein Flottbek, Othmarschen, Nienstedten, and Rissen, all located along the Elbe River. The routes lead through magnificent parks and charming gardens, past country houses, farmhouses, fishermen's houses, and inns. Excursions focus on the unique aspects of the district's history, such as the legendary Blankenese fleet, specific customs, and the many artists who have made their homes on the Elbe hillside, as well as current topics like the much-discussed covering of the A7 motorway. A chronicle provides an overview of the key dates and events in the history of Blankenese and the other Elb suburbs. Tips at the end of the tours highlight special shopping opportunities and cafés.
