Wooden Bridge on the Treidelweg

Highlight • Bridge

Bicycles should be pushed according to the sign, as it is very narrow there. Not everyone adheres to the rules.

It makes a lot of sense to take your bike with you on the train. If there is another overhead line damage, you can easily bypass the blocked route. And let's be honest - cycling in the (drizzle) rain when darkness falls is a special experience. Especially when you can save 55 cents on tickets.

From Eberswalde, @tr, @Kathrin, and I cycle along the Finow Canal to Finowfurt. From there, we head into the Biesenthaler Becken. We cross the Finow via the Pöhlitzbrücke and reach the Wehrmühle. An event is taking place there today – it’s wonderful that this historic site is being brought to life with culture.

There is also a lot to see on the left and right. Then a bit of the Usedom Berlin cycle path with lots of cobblestones. Biesenthal also had a diversion but I …
