Blankenese

Blankenese is a wealthy residential district known for its half-timbered fishermen's houses and pre-war villas, many of which line the winding stairs of the Treppenviertel neighborhood. Steps lead to the top of Süllberg's hill, where restaurants overlook the Elbe River. The Italianate Römischer Garten presents outdoor theater shows. Remnants of shipwrecks are visible at low tide from Falkensteiner Ufer beach.
