Signpost for the Spreeradweg in Lübbenau / Spreewald

The Spree Cycle Path runs for around 360 km from the sources of the Spree in Upper Lusatia to Berlin , where the Spree flows into the Havel .

Route

The cycle path begins at the source of the Spree in Eibau and follows the Spree run through the Lusatian mountains to Bautzen . This part of the route has many inclines. From Bautzen you drive through the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape and thus through a somewhat flatter area. We continue past the lignite mining area near Spremberg . After Cottbus follows Peitz pond area . The cycle path continues through the Spreewald with its widely branched canals. Then the river unites again and you can continue cycling via Fürstenwalde to Erkner on the Berlin city limits. There the Spreeradweg connects to the Europaradweg R1 .

In the Saxon part, the signage is partly in need of supplementation and maintenance. It is almost completely absent in the lignite follow-up landscape between Uhyst (Spree) and Schwarze Pumpe . From Ebersbach / Sa. The way to Bautzen is very well signposted. In the Upper Lusatian Heath and Pond Landscape Biosphere Reserve north of Bautzen, the Boxberg power plant is a dominant feature of the path that cannot be overlooked and leads safely to Uhyst. The way to Bärwalder See and the following left bypass to Bärwalde and Boxberg is signposted. Shortly before the Boxberg power plant, you reach Bundesstraße 156 and take the cycle path next to it to the power plant. In front of this, take the Spreestrasse, which leads off to the left of the power plant, on the left cycle path a few kilometers from the western part of the Oberlausitz military training area . The required junction to Döschko and Neustadt / Spree is signposted with "Döschko". At the Spreewitz junction , the direction Spremberg is signposted again. The entire route is partly varied and close to nature on good paths, partly primarily suitable for bridging distances.

There are various options along the way to spend the night or to have your bike repaired.
