Day 2: Cottbus – Lübbenau
Distance: approx 47 km / 29 mi

You will be in the Spree Forest in no time.

If you are up for a more sportive route and are capable of facing the challenge, you can continue to Golssen or Lake Neundorf. If not, however, continue cycling to Schlepzig, a beautiful little village in the Lower Spree Forest. Then, cycle on to Lake Köthen or to the “Tropical Island”. Stay overnight in Krausnick or Schlepzig.

Day 4: Unterspreewald - Burg
Distance: approx 47 km / 29 mi
