The Elbe-Katemin-Way leads you with many small ascents through the Elbe heights, which together with the Klötzie form the northern edge of the Drawehn ridge and run out to the Elbe marshes to the north. As a transition from the biosphere reserve Lower Saxony Elbe valley floodplain to the Wendland nature park.Elbe, this varied landscape forms the backdrop of the trail. The Elbe-Katemin-Way takes you along the Elbe into the historic town center of Walmsburg, a former circular village. The Walmsburg Werder is a natural and spacious floodplain of the Elbe with direct transitions to the wooded geest edge. In the designated recreational areas you will find a place to enjoy the Elbe in its original state, with its white beaches. The Werder has been behind a dike since 2009, protecting the town of Walmsburg from flooding. Another highlight on the route is the Schieringen forest with its massive megalithic tombs and the Opferberg.

Your hike on the Elbe-Katemin-Way starts at the weir of the Katemin mill, which has been damming the stream into a beautiful mill pond for more than 700 years. The path leads you through Katemin and reaches the FFH area "Elbe lowlands between Schnackenburg and Geesthacht." After a detour through the Elbe floodplains, you reach Walmsburg, where you turn right onto Wiesenweg. From Kateminer Straße, you turn right again and climb the Elbe heights until you reach the Schieringen megalithic tombs. Here is also the so-called Opferberg, a tree-covered burial mound. The trail continues variably through woods and fields until it descends again into the Katemin mill stream valley. You pass Quarstedt and the Darzau mill. The geest ridge drops steeply like a mountain towards the Elbe; here the small mill stream has to carve a deep valley to reach the Elbe. On the last stage, you follow the stream, which leads you back to the starting point of the hike.
