Follow the flow.

Island, cathedral & Hanseatic town – in the heart of the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve, one of Germany's most expansive river landscapes.

The Havel

As far as the eye can see.

Others head for the mountains — we have the Havel. One of Germany's wildest, most unspoiled river landscapes begins right outside our door: wide meadows, glassy backwaters, and sky all the way to the horizon. It's part of the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve and Germany's "Blue Ribbon" water-tourism network.

You'll see it best from the water. A path beneath the old railway embankment leads straight to our private jetty — where our solar boat, no license required, glides out in near silence.

The Elbe-Havel triangle

Nature the way it's meant to be.

Water, woods, meadows and open fields, framed by the wooded Kamern Hills: the Elbe-Havel triangle is home to countless bird species and to the increasingly rare Elbe beaver and otter. Each spring and fall, wild geese stop here by the thousands.

A web of walking and cycling paths threads through the water meadows and along the dikes — and Germany's stork capital, Rühstädt, is just a short ride away. Breathe deep, look far, and let the pace slow.

Blick auf Havelberg
Different at every turn

Havelberg — for every season.

Wild geese in spring, long days on the water in summer, golden light and the world-famous Havelberger Pferdemarkt horse fair in fall, the sauna and Christmas markets in winter — no two visits are ever the same. Discover the seasons
