Neuendorfer Seewiesen Forest Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

One of those beautiful bike paths that lead through the Brandenburg countryside. Idyllic, deserted and perfectly paved - the purest luxury for fast drivers.

South Shore of Lake Köthener

Highlight • Lake

At the end of the footbridge there is a small staircase. This can be used wonderfully for an entry into the lake.

Gurkenradweg: Krausnick to Lubolz Forest Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This cycle path, which forms part of the Gurkenradweg, is a real insider tip and a good alternative to the bike path between Schlepzig and Lübben, which is very busy in summer.

You should skip the Köthen-Krausnick section through the Krausnick mountains, very hilly and the path about 10 km very "gravelly" - very exhausting for the "normal biker"!

Today we went on the second tour in the Spreewald. After yesterday's "disappointment", today's tour was already promising on maps/Komoot - we were not disappointed. The weather was windless and up to 30°C forecast, so every piece of forest with shade was more than welcome.
The Gurkenradweg Nord- and Ostring was mostly asphalt, any “normal” forest path/gravel road was somehow …

Today we cycled stage 3 of the cucumber cycle path from Lübben to Krausnick, behind Lübben on the canal and on beautiful forest paths through unspoilt forest, past the Schlepziger pond landscape, where we saw many birds, on endless straight roads through small sleepy villages, it's all very sparsely populated here, and through beautiful light pine forests, where there are …

Fourth stage
60 km, and no refreshment stops! 🤪
This is how we experience the Unterspreewald, the northern, smaller part of the Spreewald.
Up to the Neuendorfer See, it rolls mostly on little-trafficked country roads past meadows, fields, and smaller wooded areas.
Beautiful forest paths lead us along the Neuendorfer See, Köthener See, Pichersee, Mittelsee, Schwanensee, and the Wehlaberg (144 …
