Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Recommendable! Not so easy to reach from the direction of Aken (short gravel path) easy to reach from the direction of Dessau. Wide asphalt road without cars. Relatively hilly.

Bridge at the waterfall

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Elbe cycle path in Magdeburg

Highlight • Bridge
