고드나시 최고의 사이클링 경로

Right next to the road, but protected by rows of trees.

Very easy to navigate. Wide, paved forest road, also used by campers with cars. Plenty of spots for swimming.

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.

This simple yet charming pedestrian bridge marks one of the most beautiful crossings of the Spree south of Neuendorf am See – a place that doesn't impose itself loudly, but quietly seduces. Ideal for hikers seeking the water and for paddlers who trust the river's flow. For hikers: The bridge is a hub on regional walking and hiking trails – those coming from the center of Neuendorf will encounter an almost meditative scenery: reflective water, wide meadows, gently rustling willows. Particularly rewarding at sunrise or in the evening hours, when the sky and landscape merge into one. For canoeists: From a kayak, the bridge appears almost sculptural. It spans the Spree with a gentle sweep, signaling: Here the river flows gently, but not without depth. A good opportunity for a rest, as there are shallow spots along the bank for landing. If you like, you can dock briefly and climb the few steps up to the bridge – the view is worth it.

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
