Tips

Beyond the Horizon

July 21, 2025

Anyone cycling in the Spreewald should look up more often – not just for the sun, but also for the storks. A majestic nest sits perched on a simple metal platform, high above the treetops. A white stork stands in it, motionless as a statue. Perhaps on guard duty, perhaps meditating – you never know. One thing is certain: it belongs here.

The region is considered rich in storks, and that's no coincidence. The branching waterways, moist meadows, and abundant food make the Spreewald a five-star stork habitat. The nests – often on artificial platforms like this one – can be seen from afar. A quick stop is always worthwhile: If you're lucky, you might even spot young birds or a clattering greeting ritual.

For cyclists, this is a quiet, dignified moment – in the midst of nature, away from the major attractions. Not a place to linger, but a place to pause. And perhaps to silently marvel at how cleverly animals choose their vantage points.
