If you let yourself drift a little northeast along the Gurkenradweg (Cucumber Cycle Path), you'll come to a place so unspectacular that it's almost something special: the Schäferteich (Shepherd's Pond). No swimming area with a kiosk, no camping bustle, no sign with eight prohibitions – just water, forest, and wind. The pond lies quietly and elongated along the edge of the Spree, within sight of Hartmannsdorf. The path there is easy to navigate – compacted earth, softened in places by rain, but overall solid. The view opens up with every meter, until the surface of the water suddenly appears almost like a small lake. Forest edges to the left and right, a few old fishing boats to the north. No noise, no concrete. Those who rest here can hear the rustling of leaves and the gentle lapping of the waves. Birdsong is omnipresent – geese, ducks, sometimes even cranes passing through. Especially in the early morning hours or in the faint evening light, an almost melancholy calm hangs over the pond. Ideal for a sandwich from your backpack, a long look over the water and a deep breath of Spreewald air.

It's a very beautiful route, only the small bridges were tiring on the bikes.

The name Leipe is derived from the Lower Sorbian word "Lipa" for linden tree and currently has around 100 inhabitants. It is interesting to know that Leipe used to be and still is. In the 1960s it was completely surrounded by water and could therefore only be reached by boat. Even today the town is located in the middle of a large number of canals and streams. A real jewel box in the Spreewald. Source and further information at: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leipe

Fantastic landscape in and around the "Gurkenradweg". The cycle paths are lined with many bridges that lead over the small canals.

Very nicely done between the train station and the city.

The canal can be crossed here via a wooden bridge. A beautiful section of the cycle path.
