The change of tides created this unique, wide and quiet landscape in the furthest northern peninsula of the district of Stade. The independent communities of Balje, Freiburg, Krummendeich, Oederquart and Wischhafen decided to form a joint community on the 28th December 1970.

The joint community of Nordkehdingen is located in the area of the so called "Sietlandes“, a marshland at the mouth of the river Elbe. Due to the special geographical position the people in this part of Germany had for generations, and still have, to accept the challenge of survival against the elements of nature.

Behind the large protecting dikes along the Elbe you can find huge outer areas where many species of birds depending on the seasons either rest or breed. In the large meadows the cattle graze and the well known warm blooded horses of Hanover, which have here an important breeding area. Within the shortest period of time the hiker will find peace between the wheat fields and the many colours of nature, which will make him forget the hectic of the everyday life. The 160km long cycle and hiking trail system is well developed and signposted (please order now the map of trails)

There is no production industry, which can negatively influence the recreational value. The daily necessities are catered for by the various small handicraft and commercial shops, where the customers will be advised in a calm and prudent manner.

Also the local gastronomy can proudly point to a series of rewards, recognitions and recommendations by the tourism association of the district of Stade.

Many visitors to the joint community of Nordkehdingen are looking forward either, for an inexpensive journey on the Elbe ferry connecting Glückstadt and Wischhafen or to a trip on the Elbe-City-Jet connecting Hamburg and Helgoland.
