Through cool beech forests

Experience the sound of silence and the scent of the forest on this tour through the untouched nature around the water town of Fürstenberg/Havel. The tour starts at the Tourist Information on the marketplace by the town church, a yellow brick building (1845/48) designed by Schinkel's student, Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel, in neo-Byzantine style. It continues along the Röblin Lake to Steinförde. For this, use a section of the Berlin-Copenhagen cycle path. After passing Menow Lake, turn left just before Großmenow and ride through beautiful beech forests towards Dagow/Neuglobsow. Here you can cool off in the Great Stechlin Lake. A visit to the Glass Museum is also worthwhile, which reflects the tradition of the town as a glass-making settlement. Now you continue on a section of the Lakes Culture Cycle Path to Menz. At the Nature Park House of the Stechlin-Ruppiner Seenland Nature Park there are exhibitions, and in the sensory garden, you can be enchanted by the beauty of the plant world. The tour now runs parallel to L 222 to Zernikow. Please turn left off the country road at the Zernikow/Dollgow junction onto the road to Zernikow. Here you can visit the estate where silk production was introduced 250 years ago. Passing the old Zernikow water mill, you continue straight on to Burow. The town is located in the landscape protection area "Fürstenberger Forest and Lake Area" and was founded in 1753 by the Menzer head forester Kummer. Before reaching the starting point again, the Fürstenberg Tourist Information, you pass through Altglobsow where you can rest again at Lake Globsow.
