Short description

A tour through the most beautiful Elbe landscapes of the Altmark. The tour is always accompanied by the silhouettes of the Hanseatic city of Tangermünde and the mighty church towers of the monastery church in Jerichow.

Description

 Starting from Tangermünde, we travel through the meadow landscape of the Tanger-Elbe lowlands upstream. We pass through the biosphere reserve without any incline until we reach Buch. Here, we can visit the NABU Info Center.

We continue through Schelldorf to Grieben.

After Grieben, we reach the ferry and enjoy crossing the Elbe.

Through Ferchland, we arrive at the old arms of the Elbe and further to Jerichow, where we can visit the monastery or strengthen ourselves at the inn by the monastery.

Now, the last part begins, downstream along the Elbe until we reach the street bridge over the Elbe, through which we return to the Hanseatic city of Tangermünde.
