Der Großteil der Tour führt über tolle Fahrradwege, nur der erste Teil ab Templin führt länger parallel der Straße entlang. An vielen Seen vorbei, also perfekt für einen Badestopp geeignet. Definitiv zu empfehlen.

Eine wirklich liebevoll organisierte Veranstaltungen mit vielen gut gelaunten und hilfsbereiten Helfern. Das reichhaltige Catering war einfach nur großartig! Der erste Teil zwischen Vosskanal und schneller Havel war auch landschaftlich sehr schön, danach ging es auf vielen langen Geraden durch den Wald zurück zum Ausgangspunkt. Vielen Dank! Wir sehen uns ganz sicher im nächsten Jahr.

Schöne Tour, nach meinem Geschmack leider längere Zeit über asphaltierte Fahrradwege. Ziegeleipark ein lohnenswerter Halt. Mückenschutz dringend empfohlen.

Eine der schönsten Radtouren. Immer entlang der Havel, auch wenn man nicht ständig am Fluss entlang fährt. Die Tour ist nicht sehr anspruchsvoll. Nur die ersten 70 km sind recht hügelig. Der Rest ist ohne große Höhenunterschiede. Dabei könnte die Strecke kaum abwechslungsreicher sein. Durch Wälder und Wiesen, auf Deichen entlang der Havel, durch Städte wie Berlin und Potsdam sowie durch kleine Dörfer. Man kann sehr gut von Jugendherberge zu Jugendherberge fahren und somit die Nächte günstig und entspannt verbringen. Die Distanzen dafür liegen zwischen 60 - 100 km pro Tag. Die Wege sind fast ausschließlich auf Radwegen. Also keine vielbefahrenen Straßen. Kulturell kommt man ebenfalls auf dieser Tour nicht zu kurz. Schlösser, Obstplantagen sowie wunderschöne Altstädte bieten für jeden Geschmack etwas. Die Tour ist wunderschön und deshalb uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen!
