Cycling the Tour Brandenburg route in Germany – from Cottbus to Eberswalde (Cycling Thread)

Fresh from the blog – the longest regional cycling route in Germany, the 1,111-kilometre Tour Brandenburg! 🙂 In my latest article I write about my journey along its eastern section, close to the Polish border.

For most of you, this is probably a rather remote corner of Europe. Even for many Germans, Brandenburg's eastern edge is a part of the country they rarely visit.

But those who do venture here are rewarded with one of Germany's best cycling destinations. The region combines a very low population density with excellent cycling infrastructure and an abundance of nature – forests, lakes, rivers and quiet rural landscapes. The result is a cycling experience that feels peaceful, safe and remarkably uncrowded. For me, it is one of Europe's hidden gems for cycle tourism.

This journey also includes two extraordinary highlights. One is a former railway bridge over the Oder River that, thanks to the development of cycle routes in Poland's West Pomerania region, has been transformed into one of the longest cycling bridges in Europe.

The other is the unique ship lift in Niederfinow, one of Germany's most impressive engineering landmarks.

Feel free to enjoy the photos and if you'd like to learn more about the route and the places along the way, you'll find all the details on the blog.
