On our Havelradtour we saw several paths where old elms stood. Unfortunately, this tree species is dying out across Europe - due to a fungus.

But we really liked the elm avenue between Ankershagen and Kratzeburg, because the small hill shrouded it in wonderful light.

The oldest part of the rectangular choir with a domed cross-ribbed vault and a group of two windows in the east wall, the wider, also rectangular nave was probably built immediately afterwards towards the end of the 13th century, but in the late Gothic period it was converted into a two-aisled, four-bay hall with cross-ribbed vaults by adding a row of central pillars easternmost pillar was placed directly in front of the triumphal arch,
Tower substructure a hundred years later made of brick with a baroque half-timbered tower and clapboard-roofed helmet (18th century), two bells also 18th century.

Window openings and portals as well as east gable in brick, gable between nave and choir decorated with staggered plaster panels, surrounding ornamental frieze on the nave, north sacristy made of brick on a field stone foundation, interior furnishings renewed in the 19th century.

Here is the ultimate picnic spot! It is worth taking sandwiches with you just for this view.

The Bornsee is the actual source of the Havel (hence "Born"). Right below us, the surface water from the entire area feeds the lake and then flows off as the Havel.

Source of the Havel

Highlight • River

At the source, stones and display boards are set up to provide information about the course of the river and other interesting facts. The Havel source is a popular destination. The best way to explore the spectacular nature around the Havel source and its source lakes is by bike or on foot. A hiking trail leads from Ankershagen to the source of the Havel.
