Cultural highlights can also be found in this area: Chorin Monastery should not be missed on any visit. It is considered one of the most important buildings of North German brick Gothic and today houses a cultural centre with concerts and exhibitions. Another highlight is the Rüdersdorf Museum Park, where you can learn more about the history of mining.

This region also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Try hearty dishes like potato soup or fresh fish from the surrounding waters - delicious!

    Schöne Tour. Der naturbelassene Pfad hinter Altenhof hat tatsächlich mal ~25m lang das Gefühl vermittelt, dass es doch sehr abenteuerlich wird. In der Passage passen selten zwei Füße nebeneinander und das Gefälle ist schräg genug, dass man sich lieber an Wurzeln und Geäst festhalten mag. Auf der Westseite der Route geht man ein paar Kilometer entlang der Straße. Zwar ist der See immer schön in Sichtweite aber auf so einem Betonweg verliert sich irgendwie für mich doch der Charme einer Wanderung in der Natur ein bisschen. Beim "Camping am Spring" hatte ich die Hoffnung, dass man früher von der Straße wieder direkt an den See kommt - leider ist der Campingplatz eingezäunt und abgeschlossen gewesen. Mit kleinen Irrwegen bin ich etwas mehr als 24km gelaufen. Abgesehen von der Distanz und der einen Passage hinter Altenhof denke ich, ist das eine eher leichte- aber schöne Wanderung Fun Fact: Ich habe auf der Tour gelernt, dass man zwar dicke Autos auf Wiesen stellen darf - aber keine Hunde.

    Der Weg ist recht naturbelassen. Es liegen einige Bäume quer über den Weg, welche sich aber leicht umgehen oder übersteigen lassen.

    Wir sind das Stück zwischen der Zerpenschleuse und Marienwerder hin und zurück gelaufen. Dieses Teilstück ist sehr schön und geht fast immer am naturbelassenen Kanal entlang. Sehr schön! Einkehrmöglichkeiten in Zerpenschleuse, dort auch Möglichkeit, Kanus zu mieten, und in Marienwerder.

    Durch die S-Bahn und Regionalbahnstrecke, kann man diese Tour auch ziemlich flexibel erweitern oder abkürzen.

    Eine wirklich schöne Tour, die besonders im Sommer wegen der vielen Seen, die man entlang des Radweges erreichen kann, Spaß und Abkühlung verspricht.
