Tips from the Community
The camper van was unoccupied at both the beginning and the end of our round, the available information material was very limited. We did the round marked with the 'yellow falcon', the path was rather boring, offered hardly anything scenic and the condition of the paths was not particularly inviting either, a pity, we have experienced much better tours.

The wooden bridge in the background is no longer there. It was built during GDR times so that the residents of Doft could bypass the military restricted area.

The national park village of Boek is home to the small, picturesque St. John's Church, a café, and a stop for the national park bus. Boek is a recommended place to rest during your cycling tour.
