Sahlenburg

Sahlenburg is a borough of the city Cuxhaven near the mouth of the river Elbe in Lower Saxony, Germany.

In addition to swimming in the sea when the tide permits, there are also walks into the Duhner and the Werner forests.

The earliest artifacts discovered are the flint tools of ice age hunters dated to c. 18,000 BCE.

The first record of Sahlenburg is from 1325 and concerns Mr. von Lappe of noble lineage.

Around 1400 the nobles moved into a stone castle in Cuxhaven.
