The smells are breathtakingly beautiful in this forest at this time of year. Just cycle through and enjoy. Pedestrians, please walk to the right on the cycle paths and not to the left like on country roads. This increases the risk of accidents.

The Oberhavelsteg is a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists that has crossed the canal at the mouth of the Havel since 1991. The architect has come up with something really ingenious.

This cycle path is part of the Berlin-Copenhagen European long-distance cycle path and connects the Berlin-Hakenfelde district with the Niederneuendorf district (according to the wiki) of Hennigsdorf in the Oberhavel district. The path itself is well developed and mostly asphalted, with little root damage (e.g. at the campsite. When the weather is good, especially at the weekend, there is a lot of traffic (on foot and by bike), so be prepared and treat each other in a friendly way!😉🚶♂️ 🚶♀️&🚴🏻♀️🚴♂️👍👌🤗
