Cycle trip to the lakes near Berlin

The lakes around Berlin

Potsdam-Berlin-Potsdam

Berlin's surrounding countryside is completely different from the big city: characterised by deep forests and numerous lakes. Embedded in the magnificent landscape are many important buildings. Among them, of course, is the World Heritage Site in Berlin and Potsdam with the famous Sanssouci Palace. But great architecture also awaits you in smaller towns: for example, the neo-baroque Ribbeck Castle, the attractive old town of Werder, situated on an island, or the historic barn district in Kremmen. See for yourself on this trip: The countryside around Berlin offers everything you need for a good life or a wonderful holiday.

Itinerary

Individual arrival in Potsdam. In the late afternoon the info meeting and bike handover will follow (if booked). 

The Havel river takes you first to Werder with its magnificent old town. Fruit growing and lakes characterise the landscape on the way to Brandenburg an der Havel.

Today you reach the neo-baroque Ribbeck Castle. Kremmen is famous for its historic barn quarter. It is considered the largest preserved of its kind in Germany. Today, craftsmen, artists and restaurateurs live here.

Liebenberg Castle with its beautiful landscape park is the first destination on the tour. It is worth making a detour to the brickworks in Mildenberg, which is now an industrial and technical museum. You will spend the night in Zehdenick. (approx. 45 km)

The Havel canals accompany you to your day's destination Oranienburg. We recommend a visit to the oldest baroque castle in the Mark Brandenburg as well as to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp memorial and museum. (approx. 40 km)

You reach the Berlin district of Spandau, which mixes urban flair with woodland and water-rich recreational areas. Berlin's city centre is not far away from here. (approx. 

You travel along the river Havel to Lake Wannsee and take a ferry (optional) to Potsdam. Here you can visit the World Heritage Site with the famous Sanssouci Palace.

Erlebnisreicher Radurlaub
Es waren sehr schöne Touren auch wenn ich die App leider nicht auf meinem Handy installieren konnte. Trotz diesem Handycap genossen wir die tolle Landschaft und die verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten die als Tip im Tourenheft angegeben wurden.
