Location between the Elbe and Wittenberg

Mühlanger itself lies on the Elbe, while Lutherstadt Wittenberg, around four kilometres to the west, is a nearby geographical reference point.

Both details help you place the town geographically without losing sight of its own local connections.

This means there are both road and rail connections, which you can consider separately according to your travel plans.
