Great for getting around, but the traffic noise from the federal road unfortunately takes away some of the fun.

The section between Selbelang and Ribbeck is a beautiful little tour tip in Havelland – ideal for a relaxed bike ride or as part of a hike through the vast March landscape. The well-maintained path leads past fields and through a quiet environment and can be particularly well combined with a visit to historic Ribbeck. Those on a bicycle can wonderfully incorporate the route into a larger loop on the Havelland Cycle Route. The combination of nature, flat terrain, and the cultural attractions around Ribbeck – made famous by Theodor Fontane's poem 'Herr von Ribbeck auf Ribbeck im Havelland' – is particularly appealing.

The cycle path parallel to the B5 is good to ride on, of course there are quieter cycle paths than this one, which was built partly only 2 meters away from the main road.
