Mühlberg is a town of 3,700 (2019) in Brandenburg, but it can more properly be described as a quaint village with a rich history. It has a castle bought by a former president, trails along a slow flowing river, and streets made completely of cobblestones.

The castle, which is next to the lake, is the most well-known site in Mühlberg. Tours are available upon arrangements with the local caretaker.
There is a rock alongside a trail by the river. The rock remembers the effort and teamwork it took to sandbag the river side in order to save the community from flooding.
The single-aisled church is a Brick Gothic structure with Romanesque elements. In 1565, after several fires, it was reinstated as the parish church of Mühlberg old town. The refectory dating from the 13th-14th centuries was altered for agricultural purposes in 1820. From 1992, restoration of the abbey church and of the refectory has been undertaken.
Mühlberg is an approximately 1½-hour drive from Dresden or Leipzig; both offers major train stations and airports. A bus also runs through the small village.
