River
The source of the river is in the Mecklenburg Lake District , between Lake Muritz and the city of Neubrandenburg . There is no noticeable source, but the river originates in lakes near Ankershagen . From there, the river first flows south, at Potsdam turns west, and, ultimately, flows into the Elbe , which in turn flows into the North Sea . In its upper reaches, as well as between Berlin and Brandenburg an der Havel , the river forms several lakes.
The region around middle Havel is called Havelland . It consists of sandy hills and lowland marshes.
