Theodor Fontane Cycle Route

Ride in the footsteps of Theodor Fontane across Brandenburg, Germany. This themed route links towns, lakes, and landscapes from his “Walks through the Mark Brandenburg,” with calm countryside, brick villages, and big skies. It’s mostly flat and relaxed, perfect for easy touring or family rides. Start where it suits you and stitch together stages from this collection to match your time and mood. Expect quiet roads and bike paths, plenty of water views, and lots of little stops for coffee, cake, or a quick swim in summer. Trains connect many towns along the way, so one‑way day trips are simple to plan. Best from spring to autumn, but pleasant whenever the weather plays along. This collection gathers the OSM segments of the Fontane route so you can mix and match sections and explore the corners of Brandenburg that inspired one of Germany’s classic authors.
