Havel Cycle Path: Phöben–Ketzin/Havel section

Highlight • Cycleway

Yes, that is up to the Ketzin ferry with one of the most beautiful sections of the Havel cycle path. Driving on the dam you can see far and there are always plenty of waterfowl to be seen.

Havel Cycle Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The Havel Cycle Path is one of those paths that can't be measured in stages, but in moments. It rolls like a poem across the landscape, occasionally halting at the road, then flowing like the water next door. Those who follow it are rewarded not only with kilometers, but also with moods: the hesitant shimmer over the meadows near Phöben, the shallow shimmer of the Havel near Deetz, the inviting emptiness between sky and reeds.

The route is well-maintained, a ribbon of asphalt that winds through the wide floodplains like a leisurely thought. But as so often in life, the appeal lies not in the smoothness. The Havel Cycle Path, I realized, is not a line. It is a fabric of river, field, and air that only unfolds when you approach it with leisure. And with the willingness to take the occasional detour.

Werder (Havel) Post Mill

Highlight • Monument

There used to be three of these mills in operation on the island of Werder. Even this one doesn't actually exist anymore because it burned down in the 1970s. However, since they didn't want to miss out on one of Werder's landmarks, they quickly built a comparable mill. Or rather: they moved her. Today's mill comes from Klossa near Jessen and is also a historic mill.

Havelradweg Bridge (Werder–Potsdam)

Highlight • Bridge

The new bridge is really easy to drive, nice and wide and well paved. No comparison to the old route on the railway bridge. The access roads were also newly asphalted

Today we made up for a tour that had fallen victim to the rain during our vacation.
As I already wrote, the area around the Havel River is simply beautiful, and away from the water, time seems to pass more slowly.
We had already visited Paretz Castle on our vacation. Today we had our sights set on the church. The …

We had our holiday apartment in Werder on the Havel. From there we went on various tours.
The third tour took us from Werder via Phöben, Schmergow, Ketzin, Uetz, Marquardt, Schlänitzsee, Grube, Nattwerder, Wildpark West, Geltow and back to Werder.
The nice thing was that the route always ran close to the water. In the first section, these were along …

A very nice tour in the best weather. The round led us over the Havel dike through untouched nature. From time to time we left the paved bike paths and rode on unpaved paths near the shores of the many lakes. The bike paths are perfect. But there are always sections with powdered sugar sand. No problem with wider tires. …
