When autumn arrives, the Altmark shows its gentle, radiant side: bright red apples on fruit trees, golden meadows along the rivers and wafts of mist over the fields at sunrise. Harvest festivals on local farms entice visitors with regional specialties, and many spend cozy evenings in historic inns - often with music and stories from times long past. Autumn in the Altmark means slowing down, immersing yourself and enjoying the season with all your senses.
