This pedestrian and cyclist bridge leads over a tributary of the Elbe, connects the districts to the right and left of the Elbe and leads to the overwhelmingly beautiful bike path on the Elbe dike towards Schönebeck.

View of the Jahrtausendturm

Highlight • Viewpoint

The millennium tower in Magdeburg is 60 meters high, the highest wooden building - but not the highest wooden tower - in the world. The design and the overall artistic concept of the tower are from the Swiss building designer Johannes Peter Staub.
The Millennium Tower was built on the occasion of the Federal Garden Show in 1999 in Magdeburg Elbauenpark. Inside is an exhibition on the development of science, with many vivid, partly interactive experiments. Among other things, you can through an astronomical telescope the clock of Magdeburg Domesablesen. A Foucault's pendulum, suspended in the spire, demonstrates the rotation of the earth.
The tower was originally designed only for the time of the garden show. Only later was it decided to operate the tower and the exhibition in it permanently.

Herrenkrugsteg Magdeburg

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The Herrenkrug Bridge, or the Herrenkrugsteg, was built in 1998 in order to better distribute the rush of visitors to the then Federal Garden Show in the Elbarenpark (at that time the only way was from the south). The Herrenkrugsteg is now a purely pedestrian and bicycle bridge - at the time of the Federal Garden Show, small shuttle buses also drove here (recognizable by the bus lane markings).

My 2nd half marathon. I just wanted to reach the finish. I started with a sweater and arrived in a shirt. The weather was good. A bit early for my taste. My hips and knees didn't cause me any problems. But this time, from kilometer 17 on, I had massive back problems. I must have moved wrong or something. So …
