Countryside Road in Naturpark Wendland.Elbe

Highlight • Cycleway

In the Altmark region, the river is still called the Jeetze; in Wendland, it adds the "l" and is henceforth called Jeetzel until its confluence with the Elbe. Whatever the reason, it is a magnificent landscape with vast open spaces.

View of the Jeetzel River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Jeetze (also: Jeetzel) rises near the village of Altferchau near Klötze in Saxony-Anhalt and flows into the Elbe near Hitzacker after about 73 kilometers. It flows through Salzwedel, Wustrow, Lüchow in Wendland, and Dannenberg.
