Jork - the paradise in the Old Land
Less than 35 kilometers separate Jork in Lower Saxony from Hamburg city center. Between Stade and Hamburg Harburg, the small municipality with just over 12,000 inhabitants is picturesquely situated on the southern bank of the Elbe. Covering an impressive 62.26 square kilometers, the heart of the Altes Land offers plenty of space for fruit trees, but also for families, couples or singles and their properties. The romantic village has a lot to offer its residents and visitors. At first glance, time seems to have stood still a little in Jork. Charming half-timbered houses adorn the center of Jork and the banks of the Elbe as well as the various districts along the Este. There are no traffic jams or dense population in Jork. As the center of the largest fruit-growing region in Europe, Jork consists of seemingly endless rows of fruit trees. There are said to be around 20,000,000 trees that produce the famous apples as well as other trees that bear delicious fruit. The seven districts are generously spread out in between, where it is still possible to live comfortably and with plenty of open space.
