The adventure explores the connection between Berlin and the Barnim, dating back to the Middle Ages, and on to the Baltic Sea. With a total length of approx. 240 km and 1200 meters of altitude, the route leads through the Ice Age landscape of the Oderbruch to the Stettiner Haff. It is almost asphalt-free and passes many natural and cultural monuments such as the Oderberg Fortress , the Stolper Tower or the Krzywy Las (Crooked Forest). The adventure can be completed either as a relaxed stage trip over two days or as a demanding terrain certification for advanced riders in one go. If you like, you can also cycle back to Berlin on a ‘hidden bonus track’.
