Hansestadt Havelberg
Bridges Connect
The island and cathedral town Havelberg in the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve is a Mecca for people looking for rest and relaxation. Stalking across meadows and observing cormorants in the soft blue shimmering water from a triple canoe, that is what makes the charm of the Hanse town in northeast Saxony-Anhalt. Explore Havelberg’s secrets during a water town tour. Where the Havel flows into the Elbe, you will in the distance see the heart of the former bishop’s seat, the cathedral of St Marien, a red-brick monument of lived faith. After crossing several bridges, you will arrive in the old town surrounded by green. Take time out at the marina or the other maritime jetties. Bicycle enthusiasts will find the town in the Elbe-Havel estuary the ideal starting point for tours through untouched Havel wetlands. Several cycle routes intersect in the Hanse Town Havelberg.
Tip:
Visit the interactive exhibition at the Haus der Flüsse (House of Rivers). The modern wooden building with its large-scale glazing provides information about the biodiversity of the Elbe and Havel river landscape at several multimedia stations.
