Tips from the Community
Great to ride between Brandenburg and Potsdam. Sometimes a few roots and you hop over them. But overall also scenically great.

The New Palace is in no way inferior to the historic Sanssouci Palace in terms of appearance. The overall complex is mighty yet filigree and impresses with its spaciousness.

Brilliant mountain views. Tricky rocky terrain. Steep & narrow path. Perfect for a mountain bike.
