Elbe Floodplain Near Lenzen (Brandenburgische Elbtalaue)

Highlight • Natural

Here the "bottleneck" of the Elbe was deprived of its power at high tide. Due to the back dike and the design of the areas, the Elbe has floodplains here again.

One of the few surviving border towers of the former inner-German border. This is directly on the Elbe, which at that time formed the border between the two German states in the middle of the river

Great place to stay and enjoy the Elbe. You can also put your feet in the water 💦... a small sandy beach invites you to sunbathe.

September 1, 2023,Elberadweg - Tag 5 - Von Wittenberge nach Lenzen (Elbe)

In Café Muckefuk we fortify ourselves for the day, which probably has a shorter route in store for us. We drive mostly along the dike along the Elbe and we notice that the country is getting wider. The extensive floodplains offer plenty of space for the river and a distinctive flora and fauna that we can marvel at. The Lenzer …

June 9, 2024,Elbe Müritz Rundweg Tag 7

Seventh and last day on the Elbe-Müritz cycle path, and it's easy to describe.
We spent the night in a great hotel. It was very family-friendly and we felt really comfortable. The breakfast left nothing to be desired either.
And we had nice conversations with other cyclists. Now we only had 35 km to our tour destination Wittenberge. The first …

June 9, 2025,From Wittenberg to Lenzen along the Elbe River

We followed the Elbe Cycle Route from Wittenberg to Lenzen, passing through charming villages, meadows, and protected nature reserves. The route is mostly flat and well-marked, making it ideal for both casual and long-distance cyclists.

Highlights include the historic town of Havelberg, peaceful ferry crossings, and stunning views of the Elbe’s floodplains. Lenzen, a small town in Brandenburg, greets you …

October 13, 2024,Von Lauenburg nach Wittenberge III Ab Lenzen (Elbe) nach Wittenberge

The original plan to cycle from Lenzen to Wittenberge along the Elbe could not be implemented. Reason: dike and water protection measures. In principle, however, you can cycle all the way to the sports harbor in Wittenberge.
Particularly beautiful: Lenzen, and the exit from this city.

Hard rain early on, we had a skull from the wine and schnapps last night. But the breakfast was divine and the rain had stopped too. But he started again immediately 10 seconds after we arrived at Wittenberge train station. In between a nice relaxed bike ride. All in all, despite the unplanned weather capers, a great Elbe bike tour …

September 2, 2023,Rundtour ♻️ von Elbfähre Lenzen nach Wittenberge & Hinzdorf

Today we first load the bikes into the car and then set off from the Lenzen Elbe ferry!

It was a really nice bike ride!👍
The highlight for me today was Wittenberge with the crossing over the railway bridge (though it wasn't that great on the wooden beams...) and the visit to the locomotive shed (also only open on Saturdays) …
