The Elbe is one of the major rivers of Central Europe. It rises in the Giant Mountains of the northern Czech Republic before traversing much of Bohemia, then Germany and flowing into the North Sea at Cuxhaven, 110 kilometres northwest of Hamburg. Its total length is 1,094 km.

Geographically, the river can be divided into different sections: The Upper Elbe is the part from the source to about Riesa in the administrative district of Dresden, which is more characterized by mountains. The Middle Elbe, on the other hand, is a lowland river. It reaches as far as the Geesthacht dam just outside Hamburg.

The Lower Elbe is called the tidal part of the river. Here, the Elbe forms an estuary, a so-called estuary. At high tide, seawater enters this funnel-shaped delta at the mouth of the Elbe and mixes with the freshwater of the river. At low tide, the water then flows off to the North Sea. Finally, the continuation of the estuary funnel in the Wadden Sea is called the Outer Elbe.
