Experience the Cathedral, the Monastery and stroll in the footsteps of the inventor Otto von Guericke. Magdeburg also offers lots of rambling parkways like the “Elbauenpark” and the “Rothehornpark” where you can relax.

Today you will pass the impressive and technical challenging construction of the waterway junction — a gigantic building project to connect the waterways of Hannover, Magdeburg and Berlin. Milestone of this cycling day will be the famous monastery of Jerichow. The Elbe river cycle path takes you further to Tangermünde. By walking through the town you will discover the traces of 1000 years of history.

Today Elbe river cycle path takes you to Havelberg. Havelberg is another round village with half-timbered houses. Do not miss to visit the Romanesque cathedral.

We recommend to make a break in the town Ruehstaedt. It is known for its big stork population. Every year in spring time about 70 storks turn back from their winter time overseas to live on roofs, pylons or towers. Wittenberge with its numerous towers can already be seen from a distance.

Recreative hours in untouched nature will define your cycling day. Only from time to time you will pass through dreamy villages.

You will pass through an unique landscape called “Wendland” — the round villages. The landscape is flat and dominated by huge floodplains. This is a paradise for birds like storks, sea eagles or cranes. Lauenburg is an old skipper’s town with a lot of beautiful restored halftimbered houses from the 16th and 17th century.

Most of the time you will cycle along the Elbe riverbanks. Before entering the metropole you will pass a calm area with small villages. You can see Hamburg already from far away. Don’t miss the opportunity to take part in a roundtrip by boat. You will get an impression of Hamburg harbour seen from the water with its huge ocean liners and container terminals.
