A beautiful, hilly bike path through an enchanted forest.

Where the sea eagle circles in an endless sky, the osprey dives into the lake from dizzying heights and the trumpeting of cranes accompanies the spring and autumn of each year, is a landscape that reminds us of fairy tales and stories of days gone by. With its vast forests, glittering lakes and wondrous moors, it has something original, even wild, about it that awakens our awe of nature.

This cycle path always goes through the beautiful beech forest. There is also a fairly strenuous climb. The path is quite narrow in some places.

The cycle paths here are a dream for every cyclist. They wind through dense forests, over rolling hills and along sparkling lakes. It's a peaceful cycle where I only hear the crunch of the tires on the sandy surface and the chirping of the birds. I discover that the paths are well developed and suitable for every type of bike. Every now and then the surface becomes a little sandier, which requires a safer driving style, but that's exactly what makes this route so attractive. It's a bit of an adventure maneuvering through the natural nature of the paths. On the way I pass various rest areas that are perfect for taking a break and taking in the nature around me. I enjoy the silence, broken only by the gentle rustling of the wind and the distant rippling of a lake. What I particularly remember is the untouched beauty of the landscape. All around me is pure nature - forests that stretch to the horizon and clear lakes that shine like mirrors in the sun. I watch ospreys in the sky and cranes in the wet meadows.

Pure nature, very beautiful to look at, and a well-developed cycle path. Overall, a beautiful section of this route. An ideal place to experience the tranquility of the national park – far from the hustle and bustle and yet very close to nature. The path gently curves through dense beech and pine forests, past moss-covered forest floors and small clearings where deer and cranes can often be seen. Magnificent views of Lake Feisneck, whose waters glitter silvery in the sun, open up again and again between the trees. The shore remains mostly untouched – reeds line the shoreline, water lilies sway on the water, and with a little luck, you might spot sea eagles or ospreys circling above the lake. Several small rest areas with benches invite you to linger. This section is particularly atmospheric in the early morning when wisps of mist lie over the water, or in the late afternoon when warm light surrounds the trees.
