Börde-Hamster Cycle Path

The Börde-Hamster Cycle Path is a small circular route in the Salzland district south of Schönebeck and north of the Saale. It connects numerous interesting excursion destinations in the region, such as the graduation tower in the Kurpark Bad Salzelmen, the soil science museum Eickendorf, the Renaissance castle Großmühlingen, the Peace Ride Museum Kleinmühlingen, the Wartenberg near Calbe, the timber-framed church Wespen, the Seepark Barby, the post mill Pömmelte, the Lichtmess Museum Glinde, and of course the cities of Schönebeck, Calbe (Saale), and Barby. Additionally, a short detour to the vehicle museum in Glöthe is recommended.
The Hamster circular route is approximately 65 kilometers long and can be shortened between Kleinmühlingen and Wespen. At many points, extensions of the tour are also possible, as the Elbe Cycle Route alternative, Saale cycling route, 3 Ferry Tour, and El-Sa Tour also pass through the region. Schönebeck or Calbe are recommended as starting points since they are easily accessible by train. This also makes it possible to split the large circular route into two tours, cycling from Schönebeck to Calbe once and completing the round trip from Calbe another time.
