Tips from the Community
Discovery tour in the Jerichower Land: More than just a day trip! ✨ We didn't have to travel far ✈️ to discover a real gem 💎: The Jerichower Land is full of highlights just waiting to be explored. 🤩 A historical idyll: Klietznick 🏘️ South of Jerichow lies the picturesque church village of Klietznick. Its history stretches incredibly far back, to the 9th century ⏳ – a true historical treasure! Over the centuries, the village has developed into one of the most beautiful in the region. This is also evidenced by official awards: Klietznick has received numerous honors, including the prestigious European Village Renewal Award! 🏆 However, our actual destination for the day was the vineyard 🍇 with its striking, 48-meter-high observation tower! 🔭 The planning for this climb took place in a rustic and cozy setting, over a traditional layered cabbage meal 🍲 at the Pietrzak farm butcher shop in Ferchland. A real insider tip 🤫 that we highly recommend! (The food there is simply fantastic! 😋💯) The climb to the tower became the highlight of our tour and offered a breathtaking panoramic view over the vast and beautiful landscape of the Jerichower Land region. 📸🌄

The Dutch Windmill is the last of seven windmills in the town of Jerichow. It was built in 1857 to replace an older mill. The interior from this period is completely preserved. The mill was converted to motor power in 1936, and the blades and rotating tower crown were removed in 1949. After years of restoration, the mill received new blades in May 2005.

There used to be many windmills throughout the area, but today, not much remains of most of them except for a sign with old photos and descriptions. Therefore, this example is particularly well preserved and beautiful.

The Sandfurt Bridge enables the crossing over the Old Elbe Jerichow and the northern access, from Jerichow, to the Bucher Brack - Bölsdorfer Haken, where an old, unpaved avenue lined with willows leads.

The castle was first mentioned in 1144 in connection with the founding of the Jerichow Monastery. After the German reconquest of the area, the Jerichow Castle was expanded with stone. In 1769 the demolition of the ring wall was approved. The material obtained was used to build a so-called silk house. The castle tower was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century. Its materials were used in the churchyard wall. In 1893 the land survey of the Burgstall was leveled and a municipal park with trees was laid out.
