Bike Touring Highlight
Havelberg is a wonderful day destination. The old town of the Hanseatic city is on an island, which is cool in itself. Havelberg is quite small, so the range of accommodation is available but manageable. Unfortunately, Havelberg no longer has a train station. If you don't want to spend the night here, you can take the bus to Glöwen in Brandenburg, Schönhausen (Elbe), Tangermünde or Stendal, which are connected to the rail network. Of course you can also cycle there.

Worthwhile goal! Especially at the time of the local horse market there is a lot going on. But the city itself is also beautiful to look at and above all the eponymous Havelberg can be seen from afar as it stands out impressively from the flat landscape. Alls stage and rest area during a tour along the Elbe along highly recommended.

For centuries, there is the horse market on the first weekend of September. It starts on Thursday with the beer keg and ends on Sunday with a firework. Also worth seeing is the bootskorso a weekend before.
