란지거 호수 최고의 사이클링 경로

The village church was rebuilt around 1882, using building materials from the old fieldstone structure dating back to the 13th century. The original part of this fieldstone church includes the preserved east gable with its lancet windows and the nine fitted checkerboard stones. The relatively high number of these ornamental stones used is unique in Germany.

Anyone walking or driving across the bridge here should stop. Not because of the traffic – but for the view. The Spree opens up like a tranquil mirror between forests, reeds, and hidden boat docks. Sometimes covered in water lilies, sometimes clear as glass. And the most beautiful thing: it changes with every weather. Alt Schadow doesn't have a riverside promenade, but it does have that one moment that feels like a vacation – without a selfie stick. If you're in a hurry, you'll miss something. If you stop, you'll understand what a river landscape means.

If you turn off the Gurkenradweg (cucumber cycle path), you'll find a place beyond the village that needs no spectacle: a bench with a roof, a bit of moss, a glassy Spree River, sometimes with swans on it. The Pretschen Spree Pond isn't a destination in the traditional sense—it's simply a good place to slow down. There's a gentle chirping here, the willows hang low, and if you're lucky, you might even see the church tower in the background. A rest stop that seems out of time—just right for a banana, a sandwich, and a moment to yourself.

Here you pass Lake Ranzig, which covers an area of 36 hectares.

A round trip takes about 2 hours. The ship is a paddle steamer.

In strong winds, the ferry doesn't run. Then the only option is via Beeskow, which is 15 km longer 😁

Top cycle path and mostly very empty

Beautiful view over the water
