Varied loop in the Oder Valley, Brandenburg.
This bike tour is a great tour that starts at the parking lot of the Lower Oder Valley National Park in Criewen. From here it goes on the Märkischer Landweg through the Lower Oder Valley National Park to Stützkow. On the way you pass the Quellenerlebnispfad, a small circuit with a few information boards. From the top of the mountain (marking: observation bench) you have a great view far into the Lower Oder Valley. Now it goes back to the dam on a bridge over the Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthaler Wasserstraße. Here you are on the Uckermärkischer Radrundweg and still have a great view of the Lower Oder Valley. If you want, you can shorten the hiking tour at Criewen and go back over the bridge here. You can stay on the dam and hike or drive about 2.5 km further to Zützen. There are a few benches or resting places along the way, but they are quite far apart.
Highlights:
- Lookout point on the Richterberg
- Source pot
- Criewen Castle
