April 10, 2022,Havelradtour 3. Tag: Fürstenberg bis Zehdenick

A tour with a lot of history: First the German past with the Uckermark concentration camp and later the brickworks area with the many clay pits that now characterize the landscape as small lakes. The towpath, which consists of a tree-covered strip of land that is only about 3m wide and runs between the waters, is particularly beautiful.

July 25, 2022,Etappe 1: Von Zehdenick nach Fürstenberg/Havel

Start of our little bike tour from Zehdenick to Stralsund.
Today from Zehdenick to Fürstenberg an der Havel.
Almost too hot to cycle... That's why only a few photos... Apart from that, I didn't find the tour that exciting.
And there were hardly any opportunities to stop off... First in Himmelpfort.

March 12, 2022,Von Zehdenick nach Fürstenberg

After the last tours through the south-west of the Berlin area, which I don't love so much, today I'm heading north.
It is definitely quieter here and the landscape is beautiful and varied. That's more to my liking.
In bright sunshine and a tailwind, the Berlin-Copenhagen cycle path takes you through the clay engravings and lots of forest.
I would …

September 26, 2023,Havel-Radweg Part3 Fürstenberg-Zehdernik (fast)

We didn't get very far today. There was just a lot to see.
We made an eventful stopover in Ravensbrück. A "must do" if you're ever there.
We continued towards Santa Claus in Himmelpfort.
In Mildenberg at the old harbor we really enjoyed the area, the weather and, last but not least, the location.
We were able to rent a …
