Beautiful in every season and perfect for (leisure) cyclists and hikers. There is still potential in terms of gastronomy, but travelers usually have a backpack and provisions with them and nature and the journey are usually the goal:-)

Beautiful pond landscape directly on the Spreeradweg, so that plenty of free views are possible. If you are lucky, you can observe waterfowl extensively.
