Elbdörfertour - Elbe Villages Tour

The route passes richly decorated Wilhelminia-style houses and imposing industrial monuments, taking you from the largest town in the Prignitz region into rural idyll. The six-row tree-lined avenue in Groß Breese or the charming half-timbered houses of the villages numbering just a few farms behind the dyke are definitely worth stopping for. From the cycle path on the Elbe dyke, cyclists’ gazes are drawn to the magnificent river and beyond in the distance to the Singer factory clock tower, the landmark of Wittenberge.Length: 27 kilometresStart / finish: WittenbergeLogo / route sign: not specifiedHow to get there:Train: From Berlin Jungfernheide, take the RE2 (rapid transit train) (Wismar) to Wittenberge (about 1.5 hours)Car: From Berlin, take the A24 and B189 to Wittenberge (about two hours).Route: Wittenberge, Weisen, Klein Lüben, Sandkrug, Hinzdorf, WittenbergePoints of interest/background information:Groß Breese: village church, tree-lined avenueZwischendeich: half-timbered housesNature stop: Schadebeuster on the seaward side of the dyke, common white willows in HinzdorfPossible combinations:Elbe Cycle PathElbe-Müritz Circular TrailHistoric Town Centres Cycle Tours - Route 3Tour BrandenburgTrail conditions/surface: not specifiedMaps/Literature:ADFC Regionalkarte Radlerparadies Prignitz, 1:75 000, Bielefelder Verlag, 1.
