Cycling and skating in Brandenburg

Do you know why we love cycling so much in Brandenburg?
Because flat routes, a well-developed network of cycle paths and the water-rich landscapes along the rivers Havel, Spree and Oder make every ride so relaxing. With nature, culture and comfort all in one, every kilometre feels like a mini-break.

Cycling in Brandenburg means taking a deep breath, setting off and discovering something new at every turn: Lower Lusatian Mining Tour, In the footsteps of the Prussians or why not cycle around the lake and then cool off with a swim?
