シュターンスドルフのおすすめランニングルート

Despite the ever-increasing distance in time from the two terrible world wars that brought hardship and misery to many countries in the first half of the 20th century, such a memorial (war memorial) is by no means a relic of bygone times that has lost its significance for us today. In his speech on May 8, 2025 – exactly 80 years after the capitulation and thus the liberation of Germany from Nazi tyranny – Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said, among other things: “And if new wars worry us today, then we – especially we! – will not lose sight of peace. We know where war leads. We fear it rightly. THEREFORE, OUR PERSPECTIVE REMAINS PEACE. But peace does not prevail simply because we hold back, because we forgo strengthening our own defenses. For we are confronted with a harsh reality: We must do everything, together with our European partners… We must show: Democracies are not defenseless victims.”

A towpath, sometimes also called a towpath, which runs alongside the river or canal bed, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in the proverbial "good old days." Before ships could move by motor power, horses walked along the bank and pulled the boat against the current. This activity was called "treideln," and this is how the towpath got its name. As briefly mentioned at the beginning, in some areas the term "towpath" is more common for these paths, since the boat and horse were connected by a rope. Wherever these paths, located directly on the bank, have been preserved - regardless of their name - they are now popular with hikers and cyclists.

Worth seeing remains of the former zone border between GDR and West Berlin on the Teltow Canal.

Beautiful little lake.

Beautiful church even in the dark

The small lake near Güterfelde is beautiful and wonderfully clear. You can find places to take a short break everywhere. And there is even a swimming area on the opposite bank.

Very worth seeing, you have to see it

Great way to cool down...
