The Wider Destination of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel
In the wider destination of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel, the Altmark Circuit runs close to the “Green Belt of Germany” for much of its route, connecting nature, history, and culture. It is almost 500 kilometers long and passes through forests and meadows, by numerous brick and fieldstone churches. Its ten stages have different surfaces, including asphalt, concrete trackways, paved field and forest paths, sandy farm tracks, and quiet roads. When planning a stage, you can therefore take the surface into account as well as the route itself.
The wider destination of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel also has cycling and hiking trails in the Drömling, observation towers, information centers, and guided nature-watching tours. As facilities and the availability of activities may change, check specific visitor and tour information in advance.
Another cultural and historical perspective in the wider destination of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel is offered by the “Western Altmark Megalithic Route,” which is part of the European “Megalithic Routes” cultural route. Of the more than 200 megalithic tombs that once stood in the Altmark, 40 remain in Altmarkkreis Salzwedel and eight in Landkreis Stendal. These regional themes complement a visit to Klötze without conflating the different places and their individual points of focus.
