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.

The lake-like widening of the Havel tributary Wublitz north-west of Potsdam is called Schlänitzsee. It is about 2 km long, 1 km wide and 4.5 m deep. It covers an area of approx. 2 km².

View of the Schwielowsee from Baumgartenbrück

Highlight • Viewpoint

Always worth a break, even if the restaurant is unfortunately only open for a limited time. Beautiful picnic spot right on the banks of the Schwielowsee. The relics of the old bridge are still visible.

Templiner See Lakeside Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful, but also highly frequented cycle path on the water towards Potsdam city center. Great option to bypass the Zeppelinstrasse.

Beautiful route, always along the water. Hardly any cars and no roads. Some sections are not asphalted. But you can also do it with a racing bike if necessary.

First things first: I didn't find Santa Claus.

But it was still a lovely tour.

Merry Christmas! 🎁 🎄

Very nice circular tour, with very few exceptions and very good paths/cycle paths.

Such a beautiful spring day! The east wind was cold, but we were driving in circles.😂

Nice round about Nedlitz to Marquaardt Castle - with a less than inviting bathing beach, then to the island of Töplitz with a bakery stop and back to Potsdam via Grube, Nattwerder, Geltow.

I accidentally or perhaps out of sheer confidence planned a mountain bike tour. 😄
I wouldn't recommend the path along the canal to ordinary mortals. I pushed my bike for a few hundred meters and saw the danger of slipping into the canal, but I managed.
Otherwise: oh, how beautiful Panama is! 😍 Oh, and Potsdam, of course.

A small group of cycling friends started today's "island tour" at the main station in Potsdam. After passing the Barberini Museum and the new state parliament, we cycled towards the mosque (old pump house). From there we accompanied the course of the Havel via Templiner See, Caputher Gemünde, Schwielowsee, Wildpark West and Großer Zernsee.

My Potsdam, a beautiful island. Our bike tour, actually starting at the Glienicker Bridge, always went along the water - an island, after all.

The Jungfernsee becomes the Sacrow-Paretz Canal. Parts of the riverside path behind Nedlitz are more suitable for hikers, we had to push a bit. We should have taken the signposted bike path just behind Nedlitz. But …
