Elbe day 4

Not a fun day!! Head winds and couple of heavy showers. The least interesting stretch so far - very bleak and flat. No sign of shops or cafes in the villages we passed through. We did cycle passed the river bridge - amazing feat of engineering. Just about to explore Magdeburg. Would be interesting to know what the route on the other side of the river was lime.

Elbe day 3

A long one from modlich to tangermunde, because no hotels to book 110km. From modlich, you cycle along the dyke with beautiful views. We passed a number of old border watch towers. First stop was at wittenberge. Pleasant town. Grabbed a coffe and coke. Next stop havelsberg. Through small villages and dykes covered in wildflowers. Biggest horse fair ever at havelsbeg. Town itself, v old, v quiet. Ride from there to tangermunde seemed very long. Not the most interesring stretch except for the amazing plum trees. Tangermunde stunning. Staying on rathaaus platz. 

Elbe day 2

We left Boisinger heading for Bleckede. Saw storks in the field. Took ferry across to Bleckede. Charming small town. Cycling through countryside and woods. Lovely small town on an island i Hifelsburg. On to Domitz which has an amazingly preserved star shaped fortress. From there to Modlich through small river side villages. Modlich itself very pretty and very good night at gasthaus, v good evening meal and breakfast. Have seen lots and lots of herons. And i think giant egrets
