Nordumfluter Cycle Path (Biosphere Reserve Spreewald)

Highlight • Cycleway

Cycling along the Nordumfluter is an absolute pleasure. However, the cycle path is not particularly wide, so it can quickly become tight when there is oncoming traffic.

So thats it. We can tick off the cucumber cycle path. Altogether it was 280 km for me, 20 more than in the description, but that's normal.
Conclusion, apart from the first day, all other days were great as far as the route is concerned.

The last loop of the Cucumber Cycle Path led back through forests and past lakes on the best cycle paths. However, the typical Spreewald feeling was somewhat missing. There was an impressive sculpture exhibition by the artist Walter Green in the Nikolai Church in Cottbus.
