The Baltic Sea – Upper Bavaria route leads through the lowlands of Mecklenburg, the lake district with over a thousand lakes, and Brandenburg, the low mountain ranges of the Thuringian Forest and Upper Franconia, the hilly Lower and Upper Bavaria to almost the edge of the Alps. Urban highlights are Berlin , Nuremberg and Munich , but also many medium-sized and smaller cities worth seeing such as Rostock , Potsdam , Lutherstadt Wittenberg , Bernburg , Halle or Bamberg .
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
From the port in Rostock , the D11 leads via Schwaan , Bützow , Güstrow , Krakow am See to Waren an der Müritz , the second largest inland lake in Germany, and on to the northern edge of the Müritz National Park.

Berlin
The state of Berlin is reached in Hakenfelde , a district of Spandau. Along the Havel lakes, the route leads through the Jungfernheide to Charlottenburg , follows the Bismarckstrasse and Heerstrasse to the west and then turns south again through the Grunewald and along the Wannsee .
Brandenburg
From the Glienecker bridge, the route continues in Brandenburg. Potsdam with its many sights is definitely worth a longer break.

Following the Main Valley through Bad Berneck , Wirsberg and Untersteinach to Kulmbach .
