The different waterways with their water levels and different flood risks require some quite powerful weirs here in the region. This one too. Great technology!

Quiet route, rolls well through open fields, but susceptible to wind.

The cycle path alongside the road rolls well, no root damage and, in my opinion, preferable to the road when there is traffic.

At the weir group near Quitzdöbel, the Elbe, Havel, and Gnevsdorder outflowing waters converge. From here, there is a good view of the Havel estuary.

Initially, the road is paved with interlocking concrete slabs, but the road is easy to ride. Then, it's a perfect glide along the top of the dike with excellent asphalt. Plus, the view of the Elbe and Havel rivers, as well as the beautiful floodplain landscape. A great section.

Havelberg is the smallest of all Hanseatic cities and boasts a very well-preserved town center. It's not ideal for a road bike due to the cobblestones, but I didn't regret the 5-minute detour from the Elbe Cycle Path.

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.

At this point, the Elbe flows almost meditatively, accompanied by the beautiful floodplain landscape: perfect!
