If you let yourself drift a little northeast along the Gurkenradweg (Cucumber Cycle Path), you'll come to a place so unspectacular that it's almost something special: the Schäferteich (Shepherd's Pond). No swimming area with a kiosk, no camping bustle, no sign with eight prohibitions – just water, forest, and wind. The pond lies quietly and elongated along the edge of the Spree, within sight of Hartmannsdorf. The path there is easy to navigate – compacted earth, softened in places by rain, but overall solid. The view opens up with every meter, until the surface of the water suddenly appears almost like a small lake. Forest edges to the left and right, a few old fishing boats to the north. No noise, no concrete. Those who rest here can hear the rustling of leaves and the gentle lapping of the waves. Birdsong is omnipresent – geese, ducks, sometimes even cranes passing through. Especially in the early morning hours or in the faint evening light, an almost melancholy calm hangs over the pond. Ideal for a sandwich from your backpack, a long look over the water and a deep breath of Spreewald air.

Very nicely done between the train station and the city.

The canal can be crossed here via a wooden bridge. A beautiful section of the cycle path.

The town centre invites you to linger, and it is best to park your bike at the bike racks by the church.

From Lübben to Schlepzig this is a real pond tour.

It's a really beautiful cycle path along the chain of lakes, right on the shore, mostly gravel and absolutely pure nature! Simply fantastic!

Friendly staff and very informative.
