Autumn in the Altmark, Germany

Find the best deals on accommodation in Germany here!

The Altmark is situated between Hamburg, Hannover and Berlin, and is the oldest part of the historic Brandenburg Marches. In this romantic countryside, spring is in the air - even in autumn. So it's just the place to get married in traditional style. The inventive locals have come up with a very special idea for their nuptial visitors. At Lake Arend there is a floating registry office - on board the "Queen Arendsee", an old passenger ship. Not far from Lake Arend lies Salzwedel. Its townscape is characterised by old half-timbered houses and by St. Mary's Church, about whose crooked tower a wonderfully creepy story is told. Though situated on the old salt route, Salzwedel actually has a sweet speciality: "Salzwedel tree cake". The shape of this cake does not come from the tin it is baked in, instead it grows outwards in all directions, like a tree.
