It is being discovered more and more as a stream with a river landscape that is as grandiose as it is dynamic, rich in vastness, stillness and beauty. The UNESCO biosphere reserve "Middle Elbe" is like a string of pearls in which places of world importance and UNESCO World Heritage sites are lined up. As the last major river that has so far been spared from canalization, the Elbe can still live out its ups and downs freely and change its face every day. Lined by sandy shores and rustic alluvial forests, inhabited by beavers, eagles and storks, this landscape is considered an ark of diversity, the "silverware" of German unity. The author of the “3in1 travel guide for the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve”, Dr. Ernst Paul Dorfler, is itself a child of the Elbe. He takes his readers into a world of amazement and wonder. Here, on the Elbe in Magdeburg, the first German Emperor had his residence 1000 years ago; A new age began in Wittenberg 500 years ago with the Reformation by Luther; 200 years ago, a Garden Kingdom of Enlightenment was created in Dessau-Wörlitz in the Principality of Anhalt, which today attracts a million visitors every year. With 7 hiking tours and 15 bike tours, the author cheerfully takes his readers on a journey through the region. It makes them curious about their surroundings and at the same time sharpens their senses for the previously unseen in nature and landscape. the first German emperor had his residence 1000 years ago; A new age began in Wittenberg 500 years ago with the Reformation by Luther; 200 years ago, a Garden Kingdom of Enlightenment was created in Dessau-Wörlitz in the Principality of Anhalt, which today attracts a million visitors every year.
