The viewpoint in Reitwein draws the eye directly to the Stüler Church and the wooded Reitwein spur. It's worth pausing to take in the church and the village's unique location at the transition between the hillside and the valley. This harmonious scene makes the viewpoint a worthwhile destination. Highly recommended for all lovers of authentic cultural landscapes.

Lebus is a must-see for nature lovers, especially in spring when the Adonis flowers are in full bloom on the Oder slopes! The unique and rare floral splendor can also be admired near Mallnow and in the Priesterschlucht gorge. The historically significant castle hill with its neoclassical church, where the cathedral of the former bishopric once stood, is a must-see. From here, you have an impressive panoramic view of the Oder river landscape.

In addition to many other permanent exhibitions, the "Haus Lebuser Land" museum commemorates the life of the famous son of the small town on the outskirts of Frankfurt. In 1907, the poet Günter Eich was born in Lebus, in the immediate vicinity of the Oder. The river-shaped landscape appeared again and again in his poems.

The fourth stage of the Brandenburg section of the Oder-Neisse cycle path runs 34 kilometers from Frankfurt (Oder) to Küstrin-Kietz. This section initially runs along the Oder promenade in Frankfurt (Oder). It then leads to Lebus through the undulating fruit-growing region north of the Kleist town. At Lebus, the famous Adonis-flower slopes are reached. The slope edges, which are over 50 meters high, offer a wide view of the Oderland. The route then continues along the Oder dike to Küstrin-Kietz.

The restaurant "Am Reitweiner Sporn" has a long tradition. At the beginning of the 20th century, clubs and especially farm workers met here. Right behind the restaurant, the old Frankfurter Straße leads up to the Reitweiner Sporn, a trade route from the Middle Ages that led from Leipzig to Frankfurt an der Oder, and from there via Reitwein to Küstrin and as far as Stettin. Heavily laden carts and covered wagons struggled along the unpaved path and over the centuries a magnificent sunken road, rare in this region, was formed with fern-covered slopes on both sides.
