Some of the locations are really beautiful on the lakes there. I liked to drive through there slowly. Even if some of the beautiful old houses look a bit dilapidated, it still looks fantastic with the great gardens in front.

There is a stark difference between the two places. In one they tell the children that Santa Claus lives there and in the other there were two concentration camps next to each other.
A reason to pause.

Great nature on the right and left of the path. A bit bumpy from time to time. But overall really nice to drive!

A great alternative to the main traffic routes or the cycle paths directly on the street.

A very nice tour I did it with the MTB. A funny story is the Christmas village atmosphere in Himmelpfort. But then the fun ends when you read the first signs in the memorial of the former Siemens labor camp and later extermination camp.

To kick off the season today, we cycled along good cycle and forest paths (also good to very good for all other types of bikes) through forests, past beautiful lakes, through small villages away from traffic - even on the stretch of road between the turnoff to Altglobsow and Zernikow, I only encountered 3 cars - through the local countryside. …

Today we're going on a very comfortable "nature tour". On very easy-to-ride paths, we go through extensive forests, past romantic lakes where you can also swim, crossing the Havel several times and through meadows and fields, and all of this is mostly far away from traffic.
Unfortunately, several places to stop for refreshments are closed during the week, so the …

Märkische streets sometimes demand tribute. Over the years it has been taillights that have been shaken off, mudguards from wedged branches, the hub of a rear wheel and today... During a drink break the luggage rack gave way. So much so that it was hanging in the shift pinion. The screw was gone. So the fender out and there. Securing …

On this tour it's time to "pack your bathing suit!" because it's splashing and flowing everywhere. From the water town of Fürstenberg/Havel we cycle through the beautiful Stechlin-Ruppiner Land nature park.

"Ahoi" is the motto at the Fürstenberg/Havel train station, the bistro with the maritime name is right next to the platforms. There are provisions, cycling maps and whatever else …

A nice bike tour with relatively good bike paths and a beautiful lake landscape. The resort town of Himmelspfort is known for its Christmas post office. Santa Claus has already laid the clothes ready for his next assignment.

Fantastic, the food in Coffee & Travel: Wiener Melange, strawberry quark and spelled flatbread.
Otherwise we took a closer look at Dagow-Neu Globsow.
Shortly before the end at Santa Claus. Overall one of the most beautiful tours.
