A beautiful, peaceful spot on the tour: the bridge over the Nuthe River near Gröben. From here, you have a sweeping view over the fields and the small river, which meanders gently through the countryside. In summer, everything is lush green right up to the banks, and in spring, you can observe many birds here. The bridge itself is well-maintained and easily passable, even for cyclists. It's perfect for a short rest, to stop for a moment, feel the wind, and listen to the gentle lapping of the water. On a clear day, you can see far into the landscape.

The view into the distance, with the imaginary glimpse of the much larger lake beyond through the reed banks, is very beautiful. And the peace there is simply heavenly.
