Highlight: Brandenburg an der Oder's first barrier-free hiking trail
A true flagship project is the barrier-free hiking trail across the Neurüdnitz–Siekierki Europa Bridge. The former railway bridge connects Germany and Poland and is now a fully paved pedestrian and cycle path with impressive panoramic views over the Oder River. The barrier-free route, wide paths, seating, and an easily accessible parking lot make the tour ideal for wheelchair users, families with strollers, or those who prefer short, comfortable excursions. The Oder-Spree Lake District is thus the first region in Brandenburg to set a strong example for inclusive nature experiences – without barriers.

City tour without barriers: Fürstenwalde for everyone
A new barrier-free offering has also been implemented in the town of Fürstenwalde: A comfortable walking tour guides visitors along easily accessible paths to the cathedral city's cultural highlights. The tour was presented in a new flyer from the Fürstenwalde Tourism Association – just in time for Brandenburg Day in Perleberg.

Comfortable travel: travel for all generations
In addition to these two pilot projects, the Oder-Spree Lakeland Tourism Association, together with partners, is continuously developing further offers for so-called "comfort travel." These are aimed at everyone who values short distances, good accessibility, and a high level of comfort—such as families with small children, senior citizens, or people with health restrictions.
The Lake District website offers numerous excursion tips under the "Travel for All" section, including places like Bad Saarow, Neuzelle, and Frankfurt (Oder). The goal is to make the Lake District accessible to everyone – regardless of age, mobility, or individual needs. Travel for everyone
