Cuxhaven : Profile

Docking

The Elbe is the busy entrance for the port of Hamburg, and great care must be taken if crossing the shipping lanes here. The town itself, once clear or the marina, has character and is worth exploring. It is a popular stop for both land-based visitors and yachts on their way to Helgoland.
