도브라제 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

The Storkow region is home to rare salt marshes, among the largest of their kind in Europe. You can discover this unique natural phenomenon on the Salt Trail. From the eight-meter-high observation tower in the Marschallwiesen, you'll have a sweeping view of the landscape – ideal for observing cranes and many other bird species in their natural habitat.

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.

Beautiful view over the water

Great bike path through the forest!

The canal developed from the Storkower Flößerkanal, which was built in 1732 and expanded into a canal under the reign of Frederick II in the middle of the 18th century. Used for centuries to supply Berlin with timber and bricks, its current transport importance lies largely in the leisure and tourism industry. As a rule, it is only used by passenger ships, pleasure boats and for water hiking.

Very easy to drive route without cars
