A lovely guesthouse, everything was great, highly recommended! The cyclist café itself is a fantastic place to stop for a break during your tour. Friendly, attentive service and excellent value for money. Open daily, just ring the bell at the café and the owner will serve you coffee and delicious cake or cold drinks. There's also an e-bike charging station. Everything is very straightforward, cyclists are very welcome here.

A sprawling, flat river landscape characterized by waterways, meadows, and groups of trees. The lowlands serve as a natural floodplain and change their appearance depending on the water level and season. Open vistas are characteristic, making the area a typical example of a near-natural Elbe floodplain landscape.

The bridge over the Stepenitz is an important crossing just before the river flows into the Elbe. It connects central urban areas with adjacent residential and recreational areas and is used by vehicular traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Its location in the river and floodplain landscape offers unobstructed views of the Stepenitz and the surrounding countryside. It is a defining element of Wittenberge's cityscape.
