On the last day, we set off for the fish ponds near Schlepzig. We stopped at the Petkamsberg Inn for a break. Since it was lunchtime, we naturally ordered something. As you can see in the photo, I chose quark with linseed oil and potatoes, my favorite dish and typical of this region. Since there's a waterside rest area here, …

Today the start and finish was the train station in Lübben. In between there was a beautiful tour through the UNESCO Spreewald Biosphere Reserve. On this route you pass a total of 22 fish ponds, some of which should actually be called fish lakes, they are so big. They are a habitat for many birds of prey and water birds. …

A very elongated round, to be precise. Along the Spree, on one side to Schlepzig and back on the other side. There are 22 fish ponds in this section. They are a habitat, feeding area and resting place for many species of water birds and birds of prey.

Completed the 9th and final stage of the Paul Gerhardt Trail today with @Susann. The route was easy to walk and not too long. It always went along the water, with various lakes on the left and the beautiful canals of the Spreewald on the right. Despite the simplicity of the path, the flora and fauna were very beautiful to …

That was the last stage. This time only riverside paths and along canals. Very, very beautiful. The weather was good again too. Again 5 out of 5 points from me.
Conclusion on the Paul Gerhard Trail: Except for the first half of stage 1, I can recommend this hiking trail with a clear conscience. 😎
