    Wir haben am "Wanderparkplatz an der Kienofenpromenade" geparkt. Als Wanderparkplatz kann man ihn nicht bezeichnen, da keine Übersichtstafel vorhanden ist. Vom "Rastplatz mit Schutzhütte" am Stübnitzsee sind nur noch zwei Bänke und ein Tisch übrig. Die Hütte fehlt inzwischen. Zwischen Strandbad und Kuckuswerder gibt es eine Naturbadestelle. Die haben wir mit Hund zu einer Erfrischung genutzt. Der Weg ist gut gekennzeichnet und die Kennzeichung wurde auch erneuert. Wir haben einen Wegewart bei der Arbeit getroffen.

    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.

    Es war eine erweiterte Variante des Glashüttenweges. Mir hat die Route gut gefallen. Die Schwierigkeit bestand darin, dass es streckenweise Wanderwege und Feldwege lang ging. Das war für mich ok.
