Description

I kicked off my journey in the vibrant city of Berlin, with its rich history and modern vibe. Cycling through the Brandenburg Gate and along the Berlin Wall, I was immersed in the city's fascinating past. Heading northwest, I reached Stendal, a town known for its charming medieval architecture. A highlight was St. Mary's Church, a Gothic masterpiece. Additional Information: Did you know that Stendal is home to the Uenglinger Tor, one of the last preserved medieval city gates in Germany? Cycling through it felt like a trip back in time.
