Wooden Bridge on the Treidelweg

Highlight • Bridge

Bicycles should be pushed according to the sign, as it is very narrow there. Not everyone adheres to the rules.

The workshop with sales room is located in a red brick house from 1887 and is located directly on the Finow Canal. Makes a very nice impression from the outside. Since the opening times vary, we recommend calling in advance.

There was a lot of activity in the family park …
