ケッツィン/ハーフェルのおすすめツーリングルート

ブランデンブルクとポツダムの間は走るのに最適です。時々少し根がありますが、飛び越えます。しかし、全体的には景色も素晴らしいです。

1850年から1959年にかけて、この地域では粘土が採掘されていました。採掘された粘土はレンガの製造に使用され、レンガは船でハーフェル川を経由してベルリンに運ばれていました。現在、約35あった元の粘土の穴は水で満たされ、景観の迷宮を形成しています。

The short walk to the observation tower is absolutely worthwhile.

A very historically interesting and impressive cathedral. A must-go inside.

A visit to the cathedral is recommended.

Always nice rolling on the clean dike asphalt.

There are paths that accompany the water – and those that seem to whisper with it. The Havel cycle path near Schmergow belongs to the latter category. Between meadows, dikes, and pastures, the asphalt winds its way through the landscape like a silent thought. Cows are scattered like punctuation marks in the lush green, coots tiptoe over the ditches, and those out early in the day might still hear the dew dripping. Around every bend, a new chapter opens: sometimes a broad view over the riverland, sometimes a narrow passage in the reeds, guarded by a crooked willow. And then, suddenly, the water itself: still, clear, almost otherworldly blue. Anyone cycling here is not on the way somewhere, but in the midst of it – in the now.

There are paths that don't just lead from A to B, but right into the middle of slowing down. The Havel Cycle Path between Phöben and Ketzin is one such path. No inclines, no road noise, no pressure to speed. Just the river to your left, the reeds whispering in the wind, and the sky stretching far over the Havelland like a forgotten promise. You start in Phöben, where time already seems to slow down. The asphalt strip winds gently through the greenery, accompanied by birdsong and the gentle bubbling of the Havel. You cycle past small piers where boats doze and trees lean into the river like old friends. If you're lucky, you might encounter herons standing on the banks like monuments, or the wind painting the water in silvery patterns. In between: a bench overlooking the water – not spectacular, but perfect. A place to breathe. To simply sit. And marvel. Depending on your mood and the weather, you can drift to the ferry in Ketzin. Those who like it can cross over; those who don't can continue along the Havel River towards Brandenburg. There's no wrong decision, just quiet kilometers that quietly etch themselves in your memory. The Phöben–Ketzin section is neither a sporting highlight nor an adventure trail. But if you cycle attentively, you'll quickly notice: Here, the simple becomes an event. And the Havel flows quietly along with you.
