    Cyclists on the Bishop's route can feel transported back to the distant Middle Ages, when the powerful Havelberg bishops traveled on horseback or by carriage through the Prignitz to discipline robber knights or to attend synods and monasteries in their diocese. From Havelberg, also called the cradle of the Prignitz, the route leads to Wittstock. Old bishop's castles, important pilgrimage sites and centuries-old small towns lie along the way, waiting to be discovered. In addition, the Prignitz landscape with its romantic small rivers and idyllic villages invites you to linger.
