Between Werder and Alt Schadow, the Spreeradweg looks like a new motorway.
There is time to marvel at the surroundings while cycling.
At the beginning of April the vegetation is still asleep, but a few cranes can already be seen.

July 14, 2025,Spreewald Radweg Etappe 2 Fürstenwalde Alt Schadow

Fortunately, the weather cooperated – it was even sunny in the morning. The country road leading out of Fürstenwalde wasn't so exciting – long stretches through pine forests followed. Before the Karsdorf lock, a sign on a bridge pointed to a forester's lodge where RAF dropouts had received a new identity after "retraining." The Spree crossings were always beautiful. We …

According to the map, there should be a lot of roads again, but fortunately we were always led on a separate cycle path. Otherwise there were many long passages on bike roads through the forest.
Refreshments are often closed or not available at all.

The fourth day: the landscape changes a bit, and the path changes: this often consists of long straights, almost always well developed and asphalted ("bicycle roads"), sometimes avenues; that often consists of dry pine forests, wide fields, some swamps, various branches of the Spree, their oxbow lakes and various lakes.
It usually drives easily and well, little traffic.
Our highlights …

From Alt-Schadow to Füstenwalde:
Today was the longest leg of our journey.
Since we don't book any quarters, we don't have to arrive anywhere, we can just let ourselves drift.
However, it rolled so well today that a good number of kilometers were clocked up.
Lots of bike lanes and dead straight paved paths on dams and through forests - …

Sixth day on the Spree Cycle Path: Today we went from Alt Schadow via Beeskow (nice little town) to Fürstenwalde. It's hard to believe, but there was practically not a single meter of gravel or sand track along the entire route, but rather kilometers of "forest highways" (for bicycles) and quiet side streets hardly used by cars, short cobblestone passages …
