Based on the long-distance hiking trail E11, we completed this route through Brandenburg in stages during the last weekend of February 2022, from Frankfurt an der Oder via Berlin and Potsdam along the Spree and Havel to the Elbe near Coswig in Saxony-Anhalt and on to Halle an der Saale.
21 participants set out individually on this weekend to jointly undertake a 500-kilometer hiking adventure 'in distributed roles'.
There were two special features: firstly, we largely oriented ourselves to the stage divisions recommended by Andreas Sternfeldt in his book 'DAY TRIPS BRANDENBURG' (trescher-verlag.de/reisefuehrer/deutschland/tagestouren-brandenburg), which had just been published. Secondly, I also involved my hiking guide colleagues from the Märkischer Wanderbund (maerkischer-wanderbund.de) in this event, as the route largely ran through their association's area of Fläming-Havelland.
The landscape offered almost the complete spectrum of what Brandenburg has to offer. From the wide river Oder, over the hilly landscape of the Odervorland and through the Märkische Schweiz to the Berlin Urstromtal with the Spree, then following the Havelseen to Potsdam and on to the venerable Lehnin Monastery. The route then led through the Hohen Fläming with its undulating heights down to the Elbe, to then cross the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz in Saxony-Anhalt and find its conclusion in Halle an der Saale.
