Along the river.
Island, cathedral & Hanseatic town – in the heart of the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve, one of Germany's most expansive river landscapes.
Our mountains are made of water.
Others head for the mountains — we have the Havel. One of Germany's most unspoilt river landscapes begins right outside our door: wide meadows, still backwaters, sky all the way to the horizon. Embedded in the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve and in the "Blaues Band" water-tourism project.
You'll experience it best from the water. Through the old railway embankment below the guest house you reach our own jetty — and our solar boat, which needs no boat licence, glides out quietly.

Your planner for discoveries in and around Havelberg
Hand-picked — only what we truly recommend. Havelberg sits right on the Romanesque Route: water, culture, good food and nature all close together. Choose a category and put together your perfect day.
Nature that is still just that.
Water, woods, meadows and fields, and among them the forest-rich Kamern Hills: the Elbe-Havel corner is home to countless bird species and to the now rare Elbe beavers and otters. In spring and autumn, wild geese rest here in their thousands.
Numerous walking and cycle paths lead through wet meadows and along the dykes — and Germany's most stork-rich village, Rühstädt, lies just a bike ride away. Breathe deeply, look far, come to rest.
Havelberg through the seasons.
Wild geese in spring, long days on the water in summer, golden light and the horse market in autumn, sauna and Advent in winter — whenever you come, it's never the same. We'll show you what's worth seeing, and when.

Germany's most stork-rich village, in the heart of the UNESCO Elbe River Landscape Biosphere Reserve. At the NABU visitor centre you'll learn all about the region's nature.

A place of pilgrimage since 1383 with its Miraculous Blood Church — and afterwards a dip in the iodine- and iron-rich thermal brine of the Kristall-Therme spa.
