Boarders are open again, so why not jump over the river today? You will be 14 days or so on the road…
Start in Berlin and ride 100 Kilometers East, cross the River and walk through the ruines of Küstrin. From there on it is an enjoyable journey along the river, through the hills, up into the mountain and back to the river again… last stop is the world famous Neuzelle monestary brewery waiting with an unbeatable beer to be served to the thirsty cyclist.
