The idyllic Schwinde is beautifully situated in Lower Saxony in the border triangle between the Hanseatic city of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. It is surrounded by Hamburg, Geesthacht, Lauenburg/Elbe, the old salt town of Lüneburg, Bardowick with its cathedral and Winsen/Luhe, and is not far from the Lüneburg Heath with its numerous attractions (hiking trails, barefoot park, wildlife park, viewing platform, outlet shopping, indoor skiing, karting, etc.).
Various golf courses, including the nationally renowned ‘Green Eagle Golf Course’, can be reached in a maximum of 15 minutes by car. A quiet tributary of the Elbe with a bathing beach is just a few moments' walk away, and the Elbe is ideal for boat trips. The nearby Feldmark, the Elbe dyke and the Sachsenwald forest are ideal for long walks, horse riding, cycling or MTB tours.
There are two outdoor swimming pools in Geesthacht and Tespe as well as swimming lakes in Barum, Brietlingen and Scharnebeck and a natural swimming pool in Bardowick. There are also indoor leisure pools in Winsen-Luhe, Hamburg Bergedorf and Lüneburg (SaLü). Anglers and canoeists will also find their favourite spots in the river-rich surroundings (besides the Elbe, also the Luhe, Neetze and Ilmenau). There are HVV bus routes to Geesthacht, to Winsen-Luhe (railway station) and to Hamburg-Bergedorf (S-Bahn connection, occasionally also long-distance trains).
Various supermarkets, bakeries, banks, drugstores and doctors/pharmacies can be reached in five minutes by car or by bike.
The surrounding area is dotted with picturesque farm cafés, farm shops with regional products and country inns. The theme parks Heidepark Soltau, Hansapark Sierksdorf and Karl's Adventure Village are no more than an hour away, as are Lübeck and Travemünde on the Baltic Sea. The beautiful Schaalsee lake on the border with Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Ludwigslust and the renowned Redefin State Stud Farm are all within the same distance. The Hamburg-Dresden Elbe cycle path runs right past the Elbe dyke.
In late summer, the nationally renowned equestrian event ‘Stover Rennen’ takes place in neighbouring Stove. Also in August, there is a large firework display (‘die Elbe brennt’) in nearby Drage.
