Tips from the Community
Views of the castle are nonsense; it's far away. The surface is, in my opinion, really bad for road cycling (except for the recently resurfaced section from the junction with the road from Weddersleben to the entrance to Quedlinburg, it's one of the worst roads in the area). And there's quite a lot of traffic. Even by car, going faster than 80 km/h isn't fun, especially given the narrow road. Many locals commute here by bike, not voluntarily. It might be okay in the evenings.

Whit Monday is German Mill Day. Therefore, the popular Mill Festival traditionally takes place at Whitsun. We were here on Whitsun Sunday and saw and learned a lot about the Danstedt post mill. A very nice gentleman told us the whole history of the mill, which was very interesting. Once a year, flour is still milled here, which is then used for the Mill Festival, for example, for freshly baked bread or delicious sugar cake. You can buy all of this here. The sugar cake is truly delicious and inexpensive.
