For short breaks

Get away and recharge.

Enjoy a few lovely days.

If you want to leave everyday life behind for a few days, need a change of scenery or simply want to treat yourself to some peace and quiet – how about a really lovely trip to the countryside in the Altmark?

Discover its special magic and the unspoilt character that has survived in so many places: magnificent nature with wide fields, forests and meadows. Or explore the bustling life in the old Hanseatic towns and in the many idyllic half-timbered villages all around.

Enjoy the fresh country air and the beauty of the landscape, and get to know a region that is still something of an insider tip. Look forward to a charming region that often only reveals what it has to offer at second glance!

What else awaits you

FEEL AT HOME IN THE OLD MERCHANT’S HOUSE.

Our small hotel in the middle of Kalbe’s old town lies at the southern end of the so-called Kalbenser Pottkuchen, in one of the oldest commercial buildings in town, with a long trading tradition. Over the centuries it has been used, among other things, as a coaching inn with a tavern, a bank, a merchant’s shop with agricultural trade and a salt depot. The listed former merchant’s house of the Herrmann family was built in 1775. Today it is home to our small hotel. You can look forward to a bright, friendly and cosy setting with well-equipped rooms.

A LOVELY BREAKFAST.

In a cosy setting overlooking the green church square with its large old lime trees, enjoy your breakfast with fair-trade coffee freshly ground from whole beans, or a cup of tea. Alongside a rich selection of cold meats and cheese, you will also find a choice of mueslis, fresh fruit, milk (including alternatives to cow’s milk), juices, jams and honey. Enjoy the morning in a cosy setting so you can start the day full of energy and discover the Altmark.

LOTS OF OPTIONS FOR EXCURSIONS.

Landhotel “Zum Pottkuchen” is an excellent starting point for your journey of discovery through the Altmark. Thanks to our central location, you can be off in any direction in no time. Our small hotel lies halfway between the Hanseatic towns of Salzwedel and Stendal, Arendsee and Gardelegen, as well as Klötze and Osterburg. If you want to see a lot of the Altmark and have plenty of options for excursions, Kalbe is the perfect base for exploring the whole Altmark in just a few days.
