Old Oil Mill Wittenberge

Highlight • Historical Site

New life in historic walls. The Wittenberge oil mill is a listed building on the Elbe. The building complex, consisting of the administration building, the mill structure, workshops and storage facilities, was built in the mid-19th century to produce crude oil. Oil production was abandoned following German reunification in 1991.

Riverside Cycle Path in Brandenburgische Elbtalaue

Highlight • Cycleway

Very well-developed cycle path on the dike, which also offers a great view of the river landscape, especially at this point. Easy to drive on. A very nice route and a great section of this route! It's worth it!

Stork Village Rühstädt

Highlight • Settlement

Nowhere in Germany do so many storks nest in such a small space as in the European stork village of Rühstädt near the Elbe.
The place is beautifully decorated and offers several options for a good stop.

Confluence of the Gnevsdorfer Vorfluter and the Elbe

Highlight • River

This is where the Elbe and Havel meet. The Havel cycle path also begins or ends here. The Elbradweg and the Brandenburg Tour also run along here. A really great place where you just glide along on perfectly paved bicycle roads.

View of the Gnevsdorfer Vorfluter

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the cycle path on the dike you have a great view of the Gnevsdorfer Vorwasser, an approx. 11 km long canal that connects the Havel and the Elbe.

Gnevsdorf Weir

Highlight • Structure

After catastrophic floods in the area of the Havel area in the 18th and 19th centuries, an 11-kilometer-long canal with weir was built to build the backwater of the Havel, which has less gradient than the Elbe. There used to be some backwater with flooding to Rathenow.

October 17, 2022,Elberadweg 2022 - #1: Von Wittenberge nach Havelberg

In 2019 we had already driven the approx. 330km from Cuxhaven to Wittenberge along the Elbe and today we actually continued our journey after a three-year break!
At almost 26°C and beautiful views of the dyke along the Elbe and the foreshore, it rolled quite splendidly today, despite the wind mostly from the south-west!
There was a lot to discover …

Arrival by train to Wittenberge. Beautiful tour with road shares. Recommendation of the detour to the stork village Rühstedt. Unfortunately, the Mühlencafé was full, so back to the Gasthaus & Pension "Zum Storchenhof" freshly baked cake from the Busch oven 👍. Unfortunately, the Gnevsdorf weir is closed to the construction site. That's why we continued on this page. The original …

Today we tried to reschedule the tour a bit. We actually wanted to take the train to Hamburg and then go down the Elbe. The train threw a spanner in the works for us. That's kind of how it must be in India when you take the train. 😱

May 30, 2024,Havelradweg I

A pleasantly problem-free journey with Deutsche Bahn to Wittenberge and then a bike ride along the Elbe and Havel to Havelberg, racing for the rain gaps. A very flattering river landscape with plenty of peace and quiet as a balm for the soul. A good 90-minute break from the rain in the stork village of Rühstädt. The storks clattered from …

A difficult start to day 1 of our Wittenberge - Potsdam tour: we and our bikes couldn't get onto the RE8 at Zoologischer Garten station shortly before noon, it was packed to the brim. Wait an hour for the next train to Wittenberge? Or drive to Ostkreuz in the meantime to board much earlier, hoping for more space? We had …

He was a loyal companion last week... and now he's gone. Thank God we were slowly introduced to our new companion on the river island between the Havel and the Elbe. That way we were able to get to know each other well😍
And the …
