Altmark circular route: From Klötze to the Hanseatic city of Salzwedel

The stage from Klötze back to the Hanseatic city of Salzwedel as the last stage really challenges us again. Fortunately, there is so much to see and experience along the way that the time flies by.

When we leave Klötze, nature dominates at first, as it goes through initially hilly landscape, later towards the Drömling Nature Park, a unique low moor landscape. We marvel at storks, herons and, with a bit of luck, cranes, which gather their food between the cattle and in the ditches.

Past Kunrau Castle, the route goes over rolling and bright fields, meadows and large forests through Altmark; in the villages, we find old Romanesque brick churches.

Via Jübar, we reach the peaceful village of Diesdorf, which makes us dismount twice: once to visit the very remarkable open-air museum (with a small café and excellent cake) and a second time to visit the monastery church and the remains of the monastery.

Then continue through small, brick-red villages to Dähre, where we reach flat land again.

From Dähre, head towards Salzwedel, our tour endpoint. We have earned the Baumkuchen!
