Looking for a new destination for your next road bike trip? The Spreewald, located 100 km southeast of Berlin, isn't just home to Germany's famous pickled cucumbers. The picturesque but hardly populated area offers you a unique network of bikeways and empty streets, nestled in between myriads of rivulets and dense forests. With streets nearly void of traffic, the Spreewald is an ideal training area for road bikers. Our four routes safely guide you through Germany's biggest maze of waterways, and can easily be done in one day. All tours begin and end on train stations that take you from and to Berlin within one hour.

Nice "little" road bike route, a few cheeky cobbled sections to keep you on your toes, not a bad thing, but it's mainly smooth sailing. Loads of little Dorfs, loads of green stuff, good times.

Nice round, I'm originally from Baruth, I know every meter of the road there and in the area. The best area in Brandenburg for cycling, the Fläming-Skate with its feeders is unique. However, I would drive from Baruth to Dornswalde on the road. The cycle path on the section does not deserve the name…
