For cyclists

Fresh air. Freedom. Cycling.

On two wheels through the Altmark.

A warm welcome to Kalbe on the Milde. We are located in the idyllic old town of Kalbe, which is encircled by the little Milde river, and the Milde-Biese-Aland cycle route runs right past us. We are convinced: the best way to enjoy fresh air and freedom in the Altmark is by bike. You can look forward to varied nature and diverse landscapes. Cycle along old avenues of lime trees or small country roads lined with fruit trees, which are especially charming at blossom time and harvest time.

Discover small, unspoilt and idyllic villages with friendly people and the odd special feature, such as old manor houses, Romanesque churches or art in the countryside. The unexpected will surprise you!

What else awaits you

BREAKFAST – FIT FOR THE DAY.

A good breakfast in a cosy atmosphere is the perfect start to the day. A lovingly laid breakfast table and a hearty breakfast await you. Enjoy your breakfast with fair-trade coffee freshly ground from whole beans, or tea. Alongside a rich selection of cold meats and cheese, you will also find a choice of mueslis, fresh fruit, milk, juices, jams and honey. Well fortified, nothing stands in the way of a long ride through the beautiful Altmark.

FREE SERVICE FOR CYCLISTS. 

We offer safe, free storage for your bicycle or motorbike, as well as somewhere to dry your things and, if needed, a toolkit. Cyclists passing through* are just as welcome as guests who want to stay several days to explore the Altmark. Motorcyclists* can also park their vehicles in our courtyard. You will find current information and further notes in the section “Important to know” further down. Please take note of it.

*Please note: Please let us know at least 1 day before arrival that you will be arriving with bicycles/motorbikes and how many storage spaces you need!

CENTRAL LOCATION IN THE ALTMARK.

Halfway between Salzwedel and Stendal, Arendsee and Gardelegen, Kalbe is centrally located in the Altmark. Besides the Milde-Biese-Aland cycle route, which runs right through the middle of the Altmark and past Kalbe along the Milde, there is also the Altmark circular route (Altmarkrundkurs), which runs around the Altmark. Shorter routes, such as to Gardelegen or the Zichtau manor park, are also easy to ride and ideal for day trips.
