Lonely and deserted... You can't say that here. This wonderful mill is actually located right in the middle of a new development.

The Elbe-Havel Canal (EHK) is a 55-kilometer federal waterway in the federal states of Saxony-Anhalt and Brandenburg. From Seedorf you can cycle on a paved path to Altenplathow/Genthin.

The evangelical church in Seedorf belongs to the parish of Jerichow. Source description: https://www.pfarrbereich-jerichow.de/unsere-kirchen/seedorf/ The previous church from the 13th century was demolished in 1826 due to dilapidation. The new building was inaugurated in 1868. It was built of bricks in the neo-Gothic style. The nave has a steep gabled roof, and an octagonal tower with a masonry top is added to the west. The interior of the church has a barrel-vaulted ceiling. The inventory created by Oberammergau woodcarvers in 1926 has been lost. During the GDR era, the church gradually fell into disrepair. In the 1990s it was made usable again. The west gallery was restored, a new pulpit was created and benches from the village church of Magdeburgerforth were made available.

We actually wanted to take a look at the mill from the outside and promptly we got a private tour from the owner. He showed us everything and explained it very nicely. Thank you very much for the spontaneous home tour.

A lot of fine scree on this path, but it was also wonderful to ride with racing bike tires.

Decelerate on the Elbe Havel cycle path, at the Elbe Havel cross nature appears to be quite untouched.

Was created in connection with the Plauer Canal, which was built by the Prussian King Friedrich II, as a connection between Brandenburg and the Elbe. The water withdrawn from the Fiener Bruch made it possible to extract peat. After the Second Silesian War, Frederick II settled peat boatmen and peat diggers as colonialists, e.g. in nearby Mützel, around 1755.
