Well developed and consistently signposted, it leads along the Spree in a flat landscape from Cottbus to Potsdam. In Potsdam, the magnificent state capital of Brandenburg, the past and the present are harmoniously combined. In the stagecoach town you will experience Pückler's garden kingdom with the famous pyramids before you cross the Spreewald, which will delight you with its beauty and nature. Beeskow, with its pretty old town, and the cathedral town of Fürstenwalde, on the other hand, offer cultural variety. Experience the Spree in all its diversity on this tour!
