Havelmündung

This is where the Elbe and Havel meet. The Havel cycle path also begins or ends here. The Elbradweg and the Brandenburg Tour also run along here. A really great place where you just glide along on perfectly paved bicycle roads.

Have the confluence of the Elbe and Havel happened three times - Elberadweg, Havelradweg and Tour Brandenburg. Always beautiful!

Very well-developed bike paths. Towards Havelberg, the route between Elbe and Gnevsdorfer Vorfluter is the most beautiful.

Here between the Elbe and Havel the bike path is terrific!

Now both rivers are united

Here the Havel flows into the Elbe and the Havelradweg begins / ends.

Havel estuary in the Elbe, large receiving water

Cyclegila is right: it is the Gneversdorfer river (man-made) that flows into the Elbe here. The actual Havel flows into the Elbe at Quitzöbel. But the receiving water and the Havel simply merge into one another so that it is hardly noticeable at first. I had only been amazed at the further course that was similar to a channel. Wikipedia: Since the Lower Havel has a lower slope than the Elbe, the Gnevsdorfer receiving water was created at the beginning of the 20th century. This channel makes it possible to direct the water of the Havel only ten kilometers downstream of the natural mouth into the Elbe. As a result, the mean water level of the Havel is below that of the Elbe at Havelberg. A lock channel enables shipping to overcome this difference in height. In the event of threatening floods on the Elbe, the Havel lowlands can be flooded as polders for flood protection for the Elbe.

A very nice cycle path on the dam and pure nature left and right, just wonderful.

This is where the rivers meet after the Havel has been regulated over a distance of eleven kilometers.

Just beautiful here. But that goes for the whole area.

There are also benches to rest and relax here.

Actually, this is the mouth of the Gnevsdorfer Vorfluters in the Elbe, the Havel flows already an end before in the Elbe. Nevertheless, a nice place ...

Opposite Abbendorf (you can see the jetty from the bank opposite) when overheating with 32 degrees you can swim wonderfully in Gnevsdorfer receiving water, where two beautiful old willows donate their shade .. Wonderful moments !!

the dammed Havel has never seen mountains and is therefore very different from the Elbe with little sediment, which is almost red compared to the Havel

Here the Gnevsdorf receiving water flows into the Elbe. There is no direct way to the top, a paddock has been created for trusting horses. The mouth of the Havel into the Elbe is already 10 km back in the direction of the Havelberg, the bike tour there is definitely worth it.

Good bike path and beautiful sight where Havel and Elbe meet.

No problem for newcomers either. You can relax wonderfully while driving. Super beautiful landscape - no cars.

A beautiful landscape, beautiful old Elbe farms and lots of nature.
