The Aller-Elbe cycle path may be short, but it’s a fantastic ride between two river cycle paths. Between the Aller and the Elbe rivers, you’ll cross the Börde district of Saxony-Anhalt with its great landscapes. From the Flechtinger ridge, you’ll enjoy great views of the Harz upland area and ride through a beautiful forest. The first half is slightly hilly, but it soon flattens out along the Mittelland Canal.

All sorts of exciting, unexpected treasures await along the way in the Börde. In addition to castles, ruined towers and huge brick churches, you’ll discover moated castles, which have exciting stories to tell. From Haldensleben, water is your companion as you cycle along the babbling Ohre river, past pretty swimming lakes to the Mittelland Canal and finally you reach the impressive Hohenwarthe waterway, crossed with its canal bridge and many locks.

The Aller-Elbe cycle path is just over 80 kilometres (49 mi) long and leads from Seggerde to Hohenwarthe. You could choose to continue your adventure along two long-distance cycle paths – the Elbe Cycle Path and the EuroVelo 13 (Iron Curtain Route). Or, you can use it to take a particularly beautiful route from Wolfsburg to Magdeburg. You can easily ride the Aller-Elbe cycle path in one day, but splitting it into two stages allows you to explore the many treasures along the route. Haldensleben is a convenient place to stay. Have fun!
