The first alternative travel guide, a book for slowing down, takes you to the small paradises of a forgotten region between Berlin, Hamburg, and Leipzig. During the day, almost nothing happens, and at night it is one of the darkest regions in Germany. The nature is captivating, and the Elbe River sweeps away all unnecessary thoughts. In the eastern Altmark, you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, but the region will inspire you. If you've been to Uckermark too often and can no longer stand Wendland, you must visit Altmark. And if you should ever get bored in the middle of nowhere: we have gathered the best cultural tips, tested the tastiest food, and met the friendliest people (even if some initially like to hide that). Come along!.
