A wonderful, naturally formed lakeside trail. Caution is advised. If you encounter oncoming traffic, dismount and pass each other. The trail is doable, but you must ride very carefully. Tree roots and winding paths lead along it. It's very idyllic, and a visit is highly recommended.

Located near Suckow, this idyllic, secluded bathing bay is a real insider tip for cyclists. The spot not only offers direct access to the lake, but also a covered rest area with sturdy wooden benches and a table, perfect for a relaxing break with a wonderful view of the water. In the golden evening sun, the spot appears particularly inviting and peaceful. Those out cycling will find a quiet place to breathe, enjoy the scenery, and maybe even take a dip in the cool water. A great location, a photo opportunity.

A narrow, natural singletrack trail runs along the southern shore of Lake Plau, making it ideal for sporty cyclists and mountain bikers. The path leads through dense forests, past small coves, and directly along the water. Rooty sections, tight bends, and occasionally sandy, sometimes muddy sections make the trail varied and, in places, quite challenging. Views of the shimmering lake open up again and again, accompanied by the peaceful rustling of the trees – an intense nature experience on two wheels. 😉👌 The journey is the destination!
