Mühlberg is a small town on the southwestern tip of the state of Brandenburg. Located on the right bank of the river Elbe, it covers an area of 89 sq mi (34 sq mi) and has a population of only around 4,000 people (2012 estimate).

Despite its limited significance today, Mühlberg can trace its history as far back as 1230, when a settlement was established on a sandy island in the river Elbe. Archaeological excavations here have yielded artifacts from this period. They reclude items from burial grounds which are believed to be of Slavic origin.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
