Technically somewhat demanding. When wet, be careful with roots and leaves. A wonderful MTB route. We didn't meet a single hiker on the entire trail on a Tuesday afternoon in May (after morning rain). Even though cycling on forest paths is permitted in Brandenburg - even in nature reserves - in my opinion, you should not plan this tour on Sundays or public holidays or during vacations. So that it remains permitted, if it continues to be possible without competition on less frequented days.

On a Tuesday (after morning rain) in May, in the afternoon, we didn't meet a single hiker on the entire trail. Even though cycling on forest paths - also in nature reserves - is permitted in Brandenburg, in my opinion, you should not plan this tour on Sundays or public holidays or during school holidays. So that it remains permitted, if it continues to be easily possible on less frequented days without competition.

The aging bird watching hut was demolished in late summer 2024 by trainees from the state forestry service and rebuilt under the guidance of their instructor. Many thanks!! Also to everyone who worked to make this possible. You can observe numerous water birds from here, especially in the afternoon. Tip: Don't forget your binoculars!

The Schlaubetal valley captivates hikers and cyclists alike with its wild, romantic scenery. On this section, the Schlaube meanders through a deeply cut valley, with the steep slopes towering majestically above the path. The hiking trail leads directly along the bank, accompanied by the gentle rippling of the water and the roots of the old trees clinging to the embankment. The route is particularly inviting for a quiet exploration in spring, when the leaves shine in the soft light, or in autumn, when the paths are covered in golden leaves. But the valley also shows its unique facets at other times of the year. Despite the tranquility in the valley, the closures due to swine fever remind us that nature here is not only a place of relaxation, but also of change.
