Elbe-Müritz-Radweg (Elbe-Müritz Cycling Path)

From river to lake, from lake to river - the circular route leads on a stretch of 410 kilometres from the city Wittenberge via the towns Parchim and Röbel/Müritz to Pritzwalk through a landscape rich in nature with numerous rivers and lakes. It connects the river Elbe with the lake Plauer See and the lake Müritz.

The route leads along the beautiful Elbe river landscape to the town with the most storks in Germany - Rühstädt. Hardly any chimney is not inhabited by a pair of black and white feathered lucky charms. The state towers of the town of Wittenberge can be admired from afar. Among them is the second largest clock tower in Europe.

It continues to the town Lenzen (Elbe), where the cycle path leaves the river Elbe behind and meanders through green meadows and forests to Parchim. On the way, the Elefantenhof (elephant farm) in the town Platschow and the sculpture park in the village of Pampin invite you to explore. The lake Plauer See awaits cyclists with a refreshing swim behind the brewery town of Lübz. Further lakes line the route to Waren (Müritz), the ideal place to recharge your batteries with delicious fish sandwiches and a beautiful view of the lake. Afterwards we continue along the Müritz shore to Röbel/Müritz. On the way, the cyclists can listen to the calls of herons, bittern and cranes. Sea eagles and ospreys circle over the waters in search of prey.

The journey continues through the relatively flat Prignitz to Pritzwalk, where the town and brewery museum invites you to take a break. Much too fast it goes back again to the starting point where car or train already wait for the cyclists.
