The Gnevsdorf drainage canal is an approximately eleven-kilometer-long, artificially constructed canal between the Havel and Elbe rivers, serving as an additional outlet into the Elbe. Its design aimed to shift the Elbe's backwater level downstream to a lower level, thus effectively relieving pressure on the Lower Havel during floods. Simultaneously, the canal improves the flow of Havel water to the Elbe, which has a steeper gradient. The Gnevsdorf drainage canal is part of a comprehensive flood protection system that also includes several weirs and the Havelberg lock.

Rühstädt is known throughout Germany as the "Stork Village"—a reputation this idyllic Elbe village owes to its exceptionally high number of breeding white storks. Since 1996, Rühstädt has officially held the title "European Stork Village," awarded by the European Natural Heritage Foundation (Euronatur), and has since been considered an outstanding example of successful coexistence between people and nature. A central feature of the village is the NABU Visitor Center, which provides vivid information about the lives of storks and the ecological importance of the Elbe floodplains. A highlight of the year is the popular Stork Festival, which attracts visitors from near and far and celebrates the close connection between the village and its feathered summer guests. Today, Rühstädt stands as a symbol of successful species conservation and sustainable, nature-oriented village development. It impressively demonstrates how careful land use, dedicated nature conservation, and village tradition can work together to preserve a unique habitat—for storks and people alike.

The bridge over the Stepenitz is an important crossing just before the river flows into the Elbe. It connects central urban areas with adjacent residential and recreational areas and is used by vehicular traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Its location in the river and floodplain landscape offers unobstructed views of the Stepenitz and the surrounding countryside. It is a defining element of Wittenberge's cityscape.

The cycle path alongside the road rolls well, no root damage and, in my opinion, preferable to the road when there is traffic.

The campsite is located directly on the water and offers pitches for tents, RVs, and long-term campers. The owner is very friendly, straightforward, and helpful. The restrooms and showers are also in very good and well-maintained condition. One of the best campsites I've visited so far :) You should bring your own food, as the restaurant closes at 8 p.m.
