ヴェルベン（エルベ）のおすすめランニングルート

From the lock, you can already see the first confluence of the Elbe and Havel rivers (connecting canal). From here, you continue on the approximately 20 km long section of the Havel Cycle Path, where you're accompanied by water on both sides: the Elbe on the left, the Havel on the right, and then the Gnevsdorf Outfall.

The water tower is located in Havelberg's cathedral district and can be reached from the cathedral in just a few minutes on foot. It was built from red bricks in 1890 and rebuilt in 1933. Above the entrance, in addition to these dates, you can find Havelberg's coat of arms. Since the entry into force of the Saxony-Anhalt Monument Protection Act on October 21, 1991, it has been officially registered as a cultural monument. Originally, the tower served as a water reservoir for the city. In the early 2000s, the water supply was converted to deep wells and pumping systems, which led to the reservoir being taken out of service. Today, a restaurant (tower café and bistro) is located directly next to the tower, while the tower itself is no longer used for any functional purpose.

The old cathedral cemetery in Havelberg was established in 1788 outside the Havelberg cathedral district and was forgotten over the years until it was rediscovered for the 2015 Federal Garden Show (BUGA). Since then, the cemetery has been maintained and used as a tranquil park, inviting visitors to stroll. The Havelberg Local History Society maintains the cemetery's condition and regularly carries out maintenance work. In 2015, 70 gravestones were erected as part of the "Grave Design and Monument" exhibition.

The Flethe is also known as the site where the Burggrafenstein was found, a monument inaugurated on December 17, 1912, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the entry of Burgrave Friedrich of Nuremberg.
