View of the Havel River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bridge from Potsdam to Babelsberg. I use this bridge a lot, especially coming out of Park Babelsberg and heading into Potsdam's Hollandische Viertel off Nuthestrasse and onto Gutenbergstrasse for coffee and bagels. A fine surface.

Cycle path between Groß Glienicke and Krampnitz

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Good to mediocre bike path along the very busy B2. In addition to its noisy and odorous location, it also has a lot of root damage. Cycling is not really fun here ...

One of the best cycling routes I have ever cycled 🚴. The whole time we were spoiled with wonderful cycle paths, Magdeburg could learn a thing or two from that 😉. Only in the Grunewald were the paths undermined by tree roots...😏

July 24, 2022,Last minute substitute.

So, this tour was a last-minute replacement for another route from Grünau to Königs-Wüsterhausen, due to there being no S-Bahn or train, due to Bauarbeiten - which I found out about only this morning.

I adapted it from komoot.com/smarttour/3667080 (and thank you to whoever originally tracked it).
