We rode a section on profiled racing bikes and I enjoyed it. By changing the drivable surface several times (fast, but also relaxing, or also highly concentrated to curious sections), everything was there for me that I expect from such a tour.

When you arrive at the pond, you don't see its size at all. When you walk around it you realize how big it really is. Just fantastic. We were delighted by the many swans and other waterfowl. You must have seen that.

22 fish ponds stretch along the main Spree between Lübben and Schlepzig. They are a habitat, feeding area and resting place for many water and raptor species. Binoculars and a bit of time to observe will help to discover the diversity.
