Cycling day trip from Tangermünde to Havelberg

This scenic ride takes you from the charming medieval town of Tangermünde, nestled on the Elbe River, to the picturesque cathedral city of Havelberg. Over about 43 km, you’ll enjoy mostly paved surfaces, with a mix of smooth asphalt and the occasional stretch of historic paving stones and concrete. You’ll hardly notice any steep climbs—just gentle ascents and descents as you roll through tranquil meadows, peaceful riverbanks, and sleepy villages.

Tangermünde is worth exploring before you pedal off; its red-brick city gate and half-timbered houses feel like something out of a fairy tale. Once you hit the road, much of the route follows quiet paths and tracks, giving you plenty of space to soak in the countryside without much traffic.

Your journey ends in Havelberg, famous for its Romanesque cathedral perched above the town. Take some time to wander the old streets or relax by the river before heading back. This route is perfect for a leisurely day ride with plenty of scenery and history along the way!
