Stresow Memorial – Former Inner German Border

Highlight • Historical Site

Here you can see very impressively how perfectly the fence system of the former GDR was built to prevent any thoughts of escape.
Very worth seeing and a piece of German history.

One of the most beautiful routes 😁highly recommended.
Pure natural scenery.
We saw lots of animals. Storks, red kites, sheep, cattle, huge lovebirds, it was beautiful.
We stopped at a snack bar halfway through.😋
Have fun driving.

Small tour near Wittenberge. From the harbor, always on/on the dike to Lütgenwisch. The motorway construction site was passable. The dike renovation could be avoided locally. Cafe Jaap in Lütgenwisch: delicious cake! Absolutely recommended. Then take the ferry to the other side of the Elbe. Schmackenburg is pretty. Take a little time, even if you just had coffee and cake. …

I did the bike tour using the Lauschtour app and wanted to follow the recommended route. The bike path from Wanzer to Geestgottberg is closed due to reconstruction. Poorly described and signposted. The route over the railway bridge south of Wittenberge is also closed due to reconstruction. Until 2026
