Rotehorn Bridge with view of Cracauer Waterfall

Highlight • Bridge

This pedestrian and cyclist bridge leads over a tributary of the Elbe, connects the districts to the right and left of the Elbe and leads to the overwhelmingly beautiful bike path on the Elbe dike towards Schönebeck.

Elbe Dike near Schönebeck

Highlight • Cycleway

A wonderful cycle path between Randau and Ranis, or Schönebeck...🚴☝️🙋‍♂️🌳🌲 if you leave the piece of the unpaved Elbe dam and drive via Randau on the paved paths, you save yourself the bad stretch...🚴🤗

Pretzien Weir

Highlight • Monument

Regardless of whether it is flood, snow, rain or sun. You can always go back there. There is also a park bench and an information board where you can relax. 👍

Right-bank Elbe Cycle Path through the Elbe Meadows

Highlight • Cycleway

Coming from Walternienburg, shortly before the Barby ferry, I chose the cycle path through Elbauen to Dornburg, which was signposted as an alternative route. The double-track path made of concrete drives very well.

July 27, 2021,Enkeltour: Tag 2 - Von Calbe nach Magdeburg

Today looked easy with a tail wind. But wind is an indolent fellow. 😡

The restaurant "Zum Fährmann" was unfortunately closed, which is a pity.

August 16, 2025,Elberadweg Magdeburg - Barby- Ringheiligtum Pömmelte - Schönebeck

My destination today was the Pömmelte ring sanctuary; it definitely has a touch of Stonehenge about it. The sun came out right on time as I arrived there.

The Elbe Cycle Path surprised us with several detours and closures. So, only occasional glimpses of the water were possible.

May 14, 2022,Tag 4: Calbe-Magdeburg an Saale und Elbe

Permitted today from Calbe with a tailwind. From Barby then plenty of headwind. Nevertheless, a nice tour with many sights.
