Havelradweg Bridge (Werder–Potsdam)

Highlight • Bridge

The new bridge is really easy to drive, nice and wide and well paved. No comparison to the old route on the railway bridge. The access roads were also newly asphalted

New Palace and Colonnades, Sanssouci Park

Highlight • Castle

The magnificent palace complex of Neues Palais at the west end of Sanssouci Park clearly served a representational purpose. It was the last palace Frederick the Great had built in his park and a demonstration of the Prussian state's unbroken capabilities after the lean and arduous years of the Seven Years' War. Opposite, you can admire the mighty colonnades.

The grounds and furnishings are splendid and opulent. A visit to the magnificent halls is very rewarding. You can find opening hours and further information here: spsg.de/schloesser-gaerten/objekt/neues-palais.

New Palace

Highlight • Castle

The New Palace is in no way inferior to the historic Sanssouci Palace in terms of appearance. The overall complex is mighty yet filigree and impresses with its spaciousness.

Chinese House (Chinesisches Haus), Sanssouci Park

Highlight • Monument

Also known as the Chinese Teahouse, the garden pavilion was built between 1755 and 1764 based on sketches by Frederick the Great and is one of the eye-catchers in the Sanssouci Park.

View of the Schwielowsee from Baumgartenbrück

Highlight • Viewpoint

Always worth a break, even if the restaurant is unfortunately only open for a limited time. Beautiful picnic spot right on the banks of the Schwielowsee. The relics of the old bridge are still visible.

View of Werder

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the bridge you have a clear view of the Havel. In the background you can see the "flower city" Werder. The tower of the Maria Mariastern church towers far up into the sky.

September 1, 2024,Runde um die Potsdamer Havelseen, Insel Werder.

I took this tour suggestion no. 16 from the book: "Fahrradlust Berlin und Umgebung" with GPS data and saved it under "Planned Tours". Recommended, as you will be cycling on fixed, separate cycle paths throughout. Unfortunately, the Komoot app did not save all of the photos again, despite reinstalling the app on the smartphone ???
