The cycle path alongside the road rolls well, no root damage and, in my opinion, preferable to the road when there is traffic.

Havelberg is the smallest of all Hanseatic cities and boasts a very well-preserved town center. It's not ideal for a road bike due to the cobblestones, but I didn't regret the 5-minute detour from the Elbe Cycle Path.

On this section, you often have the choice between riding along the top of the dike or the parallel farm track. For me, this is one of the most beautiful sections of the Elbe Cycle Route.

The confluence between the receiving waters and the Elbe is clearly more spectacular, but the actual Havel estuary is about 10 km further east near Quitzdöbel and is less visible.
