The WT above Geesthacht is approx. 2.9m at MW, the TT is mostly set
at 2.7m.
Below the barrage, the Elbe is a tidal water and dependent on the
tides of the North Sea. Here the WT of the navigation channel is
2.2m at mean tidal NW, and approx. 3.5 - 4m at mean tidal HW.
Deviations upwards and downwards are possible. The lower gauge at
Geesthacht or the Bunthaus gauge must be observed.
When the tide is high, the Elbe flows against the main current
direction from the Geesthacht barrage. Caution: When the tide is
out, the current becomes increasingly strong (3-7 km/h). Before
passing through this section, check the tide calendar.
