Legde/Quitzöbel is known for its historic half-timbered houses winding along picturesque streets. Particularly worth seeing are Quitzöbel Castle and St. Johannis Church with its striking tower. The local history museum also provides an insight into the history of the region.

Culture enthusiasts should definitely visit the annual art market, where local artists present their works. Music lovers can look forward to the summer concert of the local choir.

For culinary delights, traditional dishes such as "Grützwurst" or "Pfannkuchen" are provided. The best restaurants can be found in the surrounding villages such as Groß Lüben or Wittenberge.

Outdoor enthusiasts will also get their money's worth here: In spring, you can hike through flowering rapeseed fields, while canoe trips on the Elbe are offered in summer. In autumn, the nearby Westhavelland Nature Park with its colourful forests entices visitors to go hiking and cycling. In winter, ice skating on frozen lakes or skiing in the surrounding areas are great options.

Even when the weather is bad, there is plenty to do: The leisure pool in Wittenberge offers water fun for the whole family, while the cinema in Perleberg entertains with current films.

The most beautiful time here is in spring and summer, when the landscape is in full bloom. Hikes along the Elbe Cycle Path or a walk through the Westhavelland Nature Park are particularly recommended.

Legde/Quitzöbel is definitely worth a trip - whether as a day trip or a longer holiday destination. This Travel Guide gives you all the information you need to plan your stay in the best possible way.

    Eine der schönsten Radtouren. Immer entlang der Havel, auch wenn man nicht ständig am Fluss entlang fährt. Die Tour ist nicht sehr anspruchsvoll. Nur die ersten 70 km sind recht hügelig. Der Rest ist ohne große Höhenunterschiede. Dabei könnte die Strecke kaum abwechslungsreicher sein. Durch Wälder und Wiesen, auf Deichen entlang der Havel, durch Städte wie Berlin und Potsdam sowie durch kleine Dörfer. Man kann sehr gut von Jugendherberge zu Jugendherberge fahren und somit die Nächte günstig und entspannt verbringen. Die Distanzen dafür liegen zwischen 60 - 100 km pro Tag. Die Wege sind fast ausschließlich auf Radwegen. Also keine vielbefahrenen Straßen. Kulturell kommt man ebenfalls auf dieser Tour nicht zu kurz. Schlösser, Obstplantagen sowie wunderschöne Altstädte bieten für jeden Geschmack etwas. Die Tour ist wunderschön und deshalb uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen!

    Bin diesen Weg von Bötzow nach Bad Wilsnack gepilgert und muss sagen: Ein Kleinod. Die Landschaft ist wunderschön, die Menschen sind aufgeschlossen und wer gern allein unterwegs ist, für den sollte dieser Weg ein Muss sein... Zum Nachlesen: http://wordpress.thebackpacker.de/?cat=137
