Start your bicycle tour in Wittenberge, the Prignitz town on the River Elbe. The tour continues on to the town of Lenzen, where every fourth house is protected as a individual architectural monument. The old castle and the Elbe water meadows surrounding the town give it a unique charm encouraging you to linger awhile. The finishing point of this day out is the town of Perleberg.
