Roadside cycle path on the B101, better in MV than in Brandenburg.

Beautiful, slightly hilly cycling and running path, always parallel to the road. Partly in the forest and always nice and shady. At 6:30 you're still running utterly alone.

Whether by bike, on foot or by car: just pull over and jump into the water... it's nice and flat 👍🏼 and in the evening there's a great view!

The cycle path between Zechlinerhütte and Canow is decent, although a bit undulating. It leads right past the bathing area, unfortunately just like the country road. Opposite the bathing area is a former holiday camp, now called "Kinderland".

Asphalted cycle path parallel to the B 122.

Cycle path with a very nice surface? Maybe ten years ago. It's now an unbearable slope with overgrown tree roots and a slipped disc guaranteed. Never again!
