Cuxhaven, Coastal municipality in Lower Saxony, Germany
Located where the Elbe River meets the North Sea, Cuxhaven spans 14 kilometers east to west and features long stretches of sandy beaches.
From the 13th century until 1937, the territory of Cuxhaven belonged to Hamburg before becoming part of Lower Saxony through the Greater Hamburg Act.
The fishing port near Fischmarkt displays the maritime heritage of Cuxhaven, where fishing vessels bring fresh catches throughout the year.
The quarters of Duhnen, Döse, and Sahlenburg contain numerous accommodation options, restaurants, and direct access to North Sea beaches.
The Kugelbake navigation tower marks the precise point where the Elbe River flows into the North Sea, functioning as a maritime border marker.
