The municipality, in figures
The municipality
Drochtersen is a large municipality measuring 17 by 16 kilometres, spread over 2 separate pieces. With 11.284 inhabitants it is of medium density (105 per square kilometre). It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there are 3 protected areas, including Unterelbe. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 29 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.
