View of the Elbe River

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The title is misleading. You don't drive along the Elbe here. It is a bike path alongside the road between Vietze and Meetschow with a somewhat uneven surface. Do not miss the field stone chapel on the outskirts of Vietze

Gorleben Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The small chapel in Gorleben was built in the middle of the 17th century on the northeastern edge of the village. Due to its exposed location on the highest point of the site, it served the residents as a refuge when the Elbe flooded.
A simple hall building was created on a rectangular floor plan, which ends at the top with a gable roof. A structure of half-timbering, which is lined with bricks, forms the outer walls. On the west side there is a ridge turret with a tent roof. Access to the chapel is also via the western side.

Parts of the equipment go back to the time of construction. In 1873 the chapel was extensively restored. Half-timbering, interior painting and tower were repaired in 2004.

Gorleben Interim Storage Facility

Highlight • Structure

Who does not know the discussion about the final storage of spent fuel elements from nuclear power plants in Germany. At the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, there was a very intensive search for final storage sites and test drillings for them were carried out or planned. The salt domes near Gorleben were one of the selected final storage sites.
At that time a massive resistance formed in the region, supported by the entire Federal Republic of that time. Today, many cultural traces and ways of life, as well as organic farming and forms of alternative energy generation, testify to the "convicts" of the time.
Today the interim storage facility for the fuel elements is set up there. Behind an earth wall you can see the halls in which the castor casks with the spent fuel elements are temporarily stored.
Every time Castor containers are delivered again, the protest is formed anew.

Forest Route from Dünsche to Laase

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The route leads over a good asphalt road from Dünsche directly to Laase on the Elbe.
It is a shortcut if you do not want to drive the long route via Gedelitz and Gorleben.

The bell tower of St. Johannes, Lüchow

View of the Nemitzer Heath

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cycle path between Gartow and Trebel is still easy to navigate, even if the surface has already been thrown up in many places by roots.
Immediately behind Trebel you have a beautiful view of the (blooming) Nemitzer Heide.

St. John's Church, Restorf

Highlight • Religious Site

The St. Johannis Church in Restorf is a small brick hall building on a high fieldstone base under a gable roof with hollow pan roofing with a full hip in the east, a square half-timbered west tower with brick infill under a pyramid roof with hollow pan roofing.
The ship was built in 1740 and the tower was built in 1847.
