Across the Elbe Lateral Canal

Highlight • Bridge

In addition to the road, the L252, there is also a cycle and footpath over the bridge (on both sides of the road). From there you have a beautiful view of the Elbe Lateral Canal and the Bad Bevensener protective harbor on the southern side of the bridge. This bridge is one of a total of four bridges that lead from Bad Bevensen over the Elbe Lateral Canal.

King's Bridge over the River Ilmenau

Highlight • Bridge

If you want to drive around the city center on the northern outskirts of Bad Bevensen, this route can be taken over the Königsbrücke.
The way there is a gravel path, so not for the "fast" racing cyclists among us.
You will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the Ilmenau river. Clear, easily flowing water. It is definitely worth taking a break here.

Medingen Watermill

Highlight • Monument

Water mill on the Ilmenau for electricity supply and still in operation today. Very large building. Unfortunately a bit old and in places neglected.
