The Aland is a river in the German states of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt,[2] left tributary of the Elbe.[2] It is the continuation of the river Biese (downstream from Seehausen),[3] which is the continuation of the river Milde. The Aland is 27 kilometres (17 mi) long, whereas the total Milde-Biese-Aland system is 97 kilometres (60 mi) long. The Aland flows into the Elbe in Schnackenburg.[2]
