短い区間は道路を走る必要があります。しかし、問題ありません。交通量は少なく、路面も良く、それほど長くはありません。

ヴィッテンベルゲの福音主義都市教会は、前身の建物が解体された後、1872年に奉献された、印象的なネオゴシック様式のレンガ造りの建物です。教会はエルベ川近くの旧市街の南端に位置し、ブランデンブルク西部で最大の歴史的なオルガンで知られています。マルク都市では珍しく、教会はマルクト広場の中心ではなく、旧市街の南端にあります。

ヴィッテンベルゲのシュタイン門は、1297年に初めて言及された、この街で最も古いランドマークです。1430年頃の火災の後、現在の形に再建され、要塞化された街の北西の出口でした。かつて「アルター・トゥルム」と呼ばれていたこの塔は、19世紀には牢獄として使用され、1928年からは郷土博物館となっています。

The village church of Rühstädt, also known as Quitzow Church, dates back to the 15th century. It was built under the influence of the noble von Quitzow family, who shaped the village for a long time. The original late Gothic brick building with a semicircular apse was remodeled in the Baroque style in the 18th century and a striking west tower was added. Important furnishings have been preserved inside, including a late Gothic carved altarpiece, several tombstones of the von Quitzow family, and a historic organ from 1738. A late Gothic mural of the Last Judgment in the apse is particularly noteworthy. Today, the church is a listed building and part of the Open Churches Initiative, meaning it is often open to visitors.

The village church of Bälow, a striking brick building, dominates the village landscape. It was erected in 1914/15 according to plans by the Royal Building Councilor Georg Büttner, reusing building materials from the older church dating back to 1661. The rectangular structure with its projecting tower and spire was built after several relocations of the village due to Elbe River floods, as well as the fire and subsequent demolition of the earlier timber-framed church. Now a listed historical monument, the church stands today as a testament to the eventful history of the village and the religious life of the Prignitz region along the Elbe River.

The Old Main Customs Office in Wittenberge dates back to the 19th century and served to monitor the flow of goods across the Elbe River. After years of disuse, it was renovated and converted into modern apartments, while preserving its historical appearance. The building remains a testament to Wittenberge's economic importance in Elbe River trade.

The bridge over the Stepenitz is an important crossing just before the river flows into the Elbe. It connects central urban areas with adjacent residential and recreational areas and is used by vehicular traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Its location in the river and floodplain landscape offers unobstructed views of the Stepenitz and the surrounding countryside. It is a defining element of Wittenberge's cityscape.

Luckily, this ferry was running despite the low tide. So I was able to complete my trip as planned. Tip: It's best to call at least a day in advance to check if the ferry is running!
