This simple yet charming pedestrian bridge marks one of the most beautiful crossings of the Spree south of Neuendorf am See – a place that doesn't impose itself loudly, but quietly seduces. Ideal for hikers seeking the water and for paddlers who trust the river's flow. For hikers: The bridge is a hub on regional walking and hiking trails – those coming from the center of Neuendorf will encounter an almost meditative scenery: reflective water, wide meadows, gently rustling willows. Particularly rewarding at sunrise or in the evening hours, when the sky and landscape merge into one. For canoeists: From a kayak, the bridge appears almost sculptural. It spans the Spree with a gentle sweep, signaling: Here the river flows gently, but not without depth. A good opportunity for a rest, as there are shallow spots along the bank for landing. If you like, you can dock briefly and climb the few steps up to the bridge – the view is worth it.

The bike ride to Körper Teich is worthwhile at any time of year. Unfortunately, there are no refreshment options anywhere.

The Dahme cycle path near Märkisch Buchholz takes you across the river of the same name. You have a beautiful view of the Dahme and its natural banks.

Even if you are standing in front of a closed gate, there are enough Munzees, Zests and a TurfZone to pass the time
