Just before the challenging exam period began in Hamburg, we went on a lovely excursion to the famous harbour and the Elbe beach in Hamburg.
On a hot and sunny Friday afternoon, we met with our MathMods and InterMaths students at the Port of Hamburg, at Landungsbrücken. We took the nearby Elbe Tunnel Elevator to go under the Elbe River. Then we walked through the tunnel (426,5 m length and 23 meters below normal sea level) to the Steinwerder side — it’s free and a fun and refreshing experience below the Elbe river. From the viewpoint on the other side, we took some photos and enjoyed the great panorama of Hamburg. The Elbe Tunnel was considered a technical sensation when it opened in 1911 and was awarded the title “Historic Landmark of Civil Engineering in Germany” in 2011.
After reaching Landungsbrücken again, we took ferry 62 to the harbour named Övelgönne/Neumühlen, an open-air harbour with historic ships. From there, we walked to the Elbe beach, where we spent the afternoon relaxing, eating snacks, playing games (cards, volleyball), and watching the giant container ships pass by.
Hamburg in summer is just brilliant!
