메르키슈 부흐홀츠 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Old concrete slab road from the former airbase for the Luftwaffe of the Wehrmacht (Brand airfield).

Anyone cycling south from Schlepzig along the Spreewald Dam will pass through a landscape like something out of an old nature film: shallow ponds, quiet waterways, a causeway path with crunching gravel, and then – almost unexpectedly – a small jetty overlooking a body of water that takes your breath away. This is the Inselsteich (Island Pond): framed by reeds, birch trees, and pines, perhaps a swan in the distance, a gentle rippling, nothing else. This place is far removed from any rush – and it's noticeable: there are no restaurants, no benches with a view, no picnic area. But if you park your bike, pause for a moment, and watch the light play on the water, you'll understand why it's worth stopping here for a while. Tip: Early in the morning or during the golden hour, the Inselsteich seems almost magical. Then the trees and sky are reflected with a clarity otherwise only seen in Canada. And if you're lucky, you might hear the rustling of otters or the call of a crane from the nearby reeds.

Anyone cycling through the quiet heart of the biosphere reserve in the late afternoon shouldn't miss this place: The Heron Sleeping Pond isn't a spectacular photo spot, but a quiet natural theater for the patient—and perhaps one of the most magical places at dusk. Dozens of herons gather in the shallow waters, striding through the water on their long legs or simply remaining motionless. In the evening, they fly in in small squadrons, stoic and with the wide beat of their wings that cradle the sky. If you're lucky, you might see them gliding over the reed belt like white shadows from the forest at sunset. The pond is a bit off the beaten track—a short detour is worthwhile. No bench, no observation tower, no ice cream stand. Just nature. There's nothing to speak here except the birds, the wind, and the gentle rustling of the reeds. Practical tip: The path is natural, partly sandy, but easily accessible by bike. It's best to bring binoculars and time. Particularly worthwhile in autumn and spring when migratory birds rest.

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.

Groß Lubolz, as a border town in the Prussian territory, received its own church, while the Klein Lubolzer in the Saxon territory went to church in the densely populated Lübben.

Very nicely done between the train station and the city.

One of the larger bridges over the Spree on the cycle path.

Away from the crowds on the way between Lübben and Lübbenau.
