Dom zu Magdeburg am Elbe-Radweg auf einer Radreise mit Gepäcktransport

From the center of Magdeburg it goes along the Elbe meadows. In Hohenwarte you should look at the lock system. We continue to Buch, where a statue of Roland and a Dutch windmill can be seen. Tangermünde's lovingly renovated old town is surrounded by an impressive city wall with numerous towers and fortified gates.

 

 

Overnight stay: Tangermünde

Leave Tangermünde with a special experience, the crossing with a yaw cable ferry to the other bank of the Elbe. On the way you should enjoy the historic town center and a wonderful view of the Elbe valley in Arneburg. Then it continues through the green Elbe landscape of the Altmark. Today's destination, Havelberg, is one of the oldest dioceses east of the Elbe. The Romanesque-Gothic cathedral shows the way to the Elbe town of Havelberg from afar.

 

 

Overnight stay: Havelberg

You cycle through the wide landscape of the Prignitz on dyke paths along the Elbe. On the way you come to Rühstädt, the village with the most storks in Germany.
The destination is the Elbe town of Wittenberge in the Prignitz.

 

 

Overnight location: Wittenberge

Today you cycle through the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve "Flusslandschaft Elbe" along the Elbe via Dömitz to Gartow and Wittenberge. In Dömitz you can visit one of the most impressive fortresses in Northern Europe (on your own). The town of Lenzen, on the other hand, awaits you with half-timbered houses and a castle that are well worth seeing.

 

 

Overnight stay: Hitzacker

From Hitzacker, you go to Boizenburg. Here, the tile museum gives an insight into craftsmanship and production (on your own initiative). On the left bank of the Elbe, you cycle on a flat path with a view of the hilly side on the right bank of the Elbe, where steep banks and slopes offer an attractive contrast to the otherwise flat landscape. On the way, the Elbe Castle in Bleckede (on your own initiative) invites you to linger. The shipping town of Lauenburg with its half-timbered houses from the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as the Elbe Shipping Museum, is your destination for the day.

 

 

Overnight stay: Lauenburg

Going with the flow, leave Lauenburg along the Elbe and cycle through the wide green land of the Elbmarsch. The destination of today's stage is the Hanseatic City of Hamburg.

 

 

Accommodation location: Hamburg

After breakfast, you will travel home on your own. Musicals, theatres, excellent restaurants, 1.000 opportunities for shopping and a multitude of sights are what make the Hanseatic city so attractive. On request, we can book additional nights for you in the effervescent metropolis on the Elbe.

  • 7 nights in the booked category, including breakfast
  • Luggage transfer from hotel to hotel (9am-18pm)

recommendable

Last year we did this wonderful tour from Hamburg to Magdeburg with the Mecklenburger Radtour We found the tour very well planned, the hotels were all highly recommended and the travel organization by the company. Mecklenburger Radtour very professional. The constant westerly wind confirmed that we had taken the direction of the trip from Hamburg to Magdeburg. This trip is also a highlight in terms of scenery. You can't see that on any car trip. The rental bikes were also top notch. Thank you again for this beautiful bike tour. It will certainly not be the last one with the Mecklenburger Radtour .
- Karl-Heinz Kramer


Impressive after the flood

After the terrible floods, we had serious concerns about starting the trip. We often drove on well-built dams and soon our concerns were dispelled and replaced by beautiful new impressions of a beautiful landscape. I have never seen so many storks and the conversations with the people affected who braved the floods were very enriching. An unforgettable trip, excellently organized. Thank you.
-Guido Roppel


The bike tour was great fun.

In the hotel we would have liked the suitcases to be carried to the room, unfortunately the hotels had no service for this.
