After reconstruction (summer 2025), it's now open to traffic again and about twice as wide! (The Mönchwinkel forest road to/from the Spree Bridge is also finished.)

A very beautiful section of the forest, but unfortunately, it's now quite bothersome with root damage! However, it looks like the section will be modernized (and therefore temporarily closed) in the summer of 2025: https://www.gruenheide-mark.de/news/1/1045088/nachrichten/modernisierung-des-spreeradweges-sperrung-teilstrecke.html
