The cycle path starts off at the head of the River Spree in Upper Lusatia of Saxony leading cyclists to the edge of Berlin city. Following a visit of Lusatia’s metropolis Cottbus, cyclists go on an easy ride across the 1.000 hectare-pond landscape surrounding the town of Peitz and into the magical Spreewald forest. Having strolled through the historic city centre of Beeskow, cyclists pass a dam between River Spree and the Oder-Spree-Kanal (canal) bringing them to the lock “Kersdorfer Schleuse”. From the cathedral city of Fürstenwalde and Erkner it is just a stone’s throw to Berlin.
