April 27, 2022,Wunderschöne Runde um den Scharmützelsee Storkow Bad Saarow

A really fantastically beautiful round around the Scharmutzelsee. The cycle paths were almost always in very good condition. On the last 5 km of the route the asphalt was raised by roots. But that didn't spoil our fun. The round was great, lots of water, very nice houses and lots of nature. Be sure to follow along.

Beautiful tour through forests and often great views of the lake. through beautiful places......
Varied route, sometimes it goes along the side of the road, but that didn't bother us.
So really recommended.

A nice round around the Great Storkower See and the Scharmutzelsee.
Since we forgot our cameras today, it can only be cell phone photos 🤦 ♀️
The paths are almost exclusively passable. A lot of bike paths, a bit on the old railway line Bad Saarow - Silberberg, a few side streets and a little forest.
Part of the trail …

A tour at the request of a young participant.
In memory of old times...
Many corners were recognized, some were new. A very relaxed tour, hardly any people on the way! 😎Then afterwards a detour to the beloved Glubigsee - oh yes - that was always nice! 🫠
