The best cycling routes around Drehnow

I am not quite sure why the title Dreiländereck was chosen here, I think it is about three bordering districts

For me a mystical place

Very interesting and mystical 😨

A very nice cycle path always along the Spree with good rest opportunities

This inconspicuous Spree bridge at the intersection between Fehrow and Striesow is a classic case of "more than just a passage." Those cycling here aren't just crossing a river—they're also crossing the border between everyday life and natural idyll. The wide concrete bridge may not be a romantic postcard motif, but it offers exactly what you'd appreciate on a bike ride: a view, space, safe guidance, and a brief moment to pause. Below, the Spree flows leisurely, flanked by reeds and willows reflected in the water.

Anyone cycling through Lusatia should definitely stop in Dissen. Right next to the neo-Gothic church is the local history museum, which at first glance seems a bit inconspicuous – but inside, it's a small time capsule. Here, you get a very tangible impression of the everyday life of the Sorbian/Wendish population: What did a peasant household look like a hundred years ago? How did women dress, what customs were practiced, what stories did people tell around the spinning wheel on long winter evenings? The exhibition not only features everyday objects, but also around 20 variations of Lower Sorbian festive costume – arranged with attention to detail. It becomes particularly lively when you delve into the traditional legends and fairy tales, which are presented here with documentary seriousness, but also with a wink. Directly behind the museum begins the archaeologically inspired open-air area "Stary lud" – "The Old People." A Slavic settlement with five pit houses has been reconstructed here, as they might have existed during the Lusitian period in the early Middle Ages. This isn't Disneyland, but a carefully designed site that demonstrates how the region's early settlers might have lived – with mud buildings, open fireplaces, and a lot of manual labor. The entire complex is open between May and October. Those lucky enough to visit on a themed weekend or experience one of the guided tours, where experts share their enthusiastic stories. Particularly popular is the Slavic Middle Ages Festival at the end of May – with music, crafts, and camp life.

Nestled in the countryside, not far from the Spree Cycle Path, lies the stork village of Dissen – a place that welcomes cyclists not with spectacle, but with quiet, grounded diversity. Those who take a break here will discover more than just a few nests on the roofs: an open-air museum, a lovingly tended herb garden, wooden animal figures, a small information trail about the changing landscape, and the "Stork House" – all framed by half-timbered houses, fieldstone, and the scent of wood and summer meadows. The ensemble acts like a living classroom for nature and culture. Children can explore, while adults can quietly read the information panels – or simply breathe in the fresh air. Seating and a playground make the place family-friendly, the signage is well-designed, and access is straightforward. You're welcome here, with no admission charge or mandatory program. Tip: If you have a little more time, you can wander through the exhibition on the Spree floodplain or explore the historic village structure. Ideal for a relaxing rest – with substance.

Anyone cycling along the cycle path through Lower Lusatia will come across a piece of wilderness with a warning: the auroxen are back. Almost, anyway. The robust animals in the pasture descend from old domestic cattle breeds and are genetically very close to the extinct ancient cattle. The information board is prominently located along the path and clearly explains the project's endeavors: extensive grazing, biodiversity conservation, and natural landscape management. Auroxen and Koniks (a horse breed) ensure that the areas remain open – without the use of mowers. Important: Do not feed them or step on them. The animals may look relaxed, but they are not cuddly toys. Anyone who gets too close not only risks trouble but also their own safety. The board provides easy-to-understand information and shows photos of the animals in their element – a great opportunity for a short break with an educational effect.
