Tips from the Community
The new B189 bridge near Wittenberge is part of the A14 motorway expansion and the dilapidated old bridge to the north (built in 1978, the longest GDR road bridge). The new construction, which is expected to take traffic from mid-2026, is being built as part of a major infrastructure project to modernize the Elbe crossing and replace the old structure.

As you travel along the Elbe dike, you will have a wonderful view of the Elbe valley meadows and the course of the Elbe River.

Dreamy little town, easy to pass by bike as the main road is paved.

Very well-kept village with a typical Brandenburg fieldstone church.

The village of Schilde actually consists almost entirely of this church. Getting there by road bike is a bit difficult due to the typical Brandenburg cobblestones.

Normally, this Elbe crossing should be avoided by bike. Currently, however, there's almost no alternative. My breathtaking experience was that ALL trucks on the federal highway maintained a considerable distance or waited. Crossing the railway bridge is expected to be possible again from fall 2025.

The name of the "highlight" doesn't really fit here. Schnackenburg and Pevestorf are located on opposite sides of the Elbe. However, the section where the highlight is marked is located between Lütkenwisch and the Lenzener Schutzhafen.

Currently life-threatening for cyclists, as there is a major construction site without a dedicated cycle path (October 2024). The alternative route over the railway bridge is also closed. However, there is no other way to use this dangerous route within 20 km. So you have to expose yourself to the danger here. If possible, take this problem into account when planning your tour.
