WCRVBB-21-ELBERADWEG - STAGE 05 - Werben-Magdeburg 114 km
Esta es la quinta etapa de la ruta del Elba (Elberadweg) que transcurre de Werben a Magdeburg, dirigiéndose a sentido sur. Es la tercera etapa desde Hamburg, la anterior gran ciudad por donde pasa la ruta. La primera parte discurre entre carreteras secundarias y tramos de carril bici lateral a la carretera, hasta la bella ciudad de Targemunde, donde se puede hacer un buen descanso.
La segunda parte compaginaría pistas empedradas cerca del muro de contención del río con carriles bici, hasta Rogatz, donde cruzamos el río con un ferry. A partir de ahí visitamos el gran complejo de enclusas que usa el Havel Kanal para pasar aéreamente sobre el río Elba.
Desde una enclusa abandonada a la majestuosa doble enclusa de Hohenwarthe de 19 m de altura. Retomamos la orilla del río hasta entrar a Magdeburg.
