September 11, 2025, Havelberg Lock

From the lock, you can already see the first confluence of the Elbe and Havel rivers (connecting canal). From here, you continue on the approximately 20 km long section of the Havel Cycle Path, where you're accompanied by water on both sides: the Elbe on the left, the Havel on the right, and then the Gnevsdorf Outfall.

Anyone cycling through Havelberg should let go of the handlebars, take a deep breath, and let their gaze drift. Havelberg Harbor is a kind of box seat overlooking the quiet spectacle of the boats, the glittering Havel, and the lively comings and goings on a small body of water. It's a lovely place to stroll along – along the shore, which is more promenade than quay, more invitation than infrastructure. Not only boats dock here, but also thoughts. And if you're hungry – be it for a fish sandwich, ice cream, or information – you'll find what you're looking for: restaurants and the tourist information office are right next door, accessible without a nautical license. Across the street, on the island, the campsite beckons. If you dare, simply stay overnight. Because what is already beautiful during the day becomes almost kitsch in the twilight: the view of the water, the scent of linden trees, the fluttering of a flag on the mast. And somewhere a rooster crows, even though it's long past evening. A place to linger—for a break or an entire chapter. Havelberg, in fact.

The old cathedral cemetery in Havelberg was established in 1788 outside the Havelberg cathedral district and was forgotten over the years until it was rediscovered for the 2015 Federal Garden Show (BUGA). Since then, the cemetery has been maintained and used as a tranquil park, inviting visitors to stroll. The Havelberg Local History Society maintains the cemetery's condition and regularly carries out maintenance work. In 2015, 70 gravestones were erected as part of the "Grave Design and Monument" exhibition.

The Flethe is also known as the site where the Burggrafenstein was found, a monument inaugurated on December 17, 1912, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the entry of Burgrave Friedrich of Nuremberg.

The association "Friends and Supporters of the Reconstruction of the Sandauer Church e.V." takes care of St. Laurentius / St. Nikolaus on a voluntary basis. During our visit, we received a lot of clear information about the project first hand, as well as coffee and biscuits, and even tips for continuing the journey by bike.
