Tour ins Reich der Fischadler

Who has ever seen a real living osprey? In summer, we can observe them around the Gross Schauener lake chain. The tour starts at Fürstenwalde station. Through the city park, we ride along the Spree River to the bridge over the river. On the other side, we must cycle along Rudolf-Breitscheid-Strasse until we reach the lightly trafficked Braunsdorfer Chaussee. In Braunsdorf, we turn left onto Markgrafpiesker Strasse until we hit the Oder-Spree-Tour bike route (OST). We continue left on it to Markgrafpieske. Passing the noteworthy brick church, we then turn left onto Lebbiner Strasse. Via Lebbin and past Lake Lebbiner, we continue straight on through Neu-Boston to Storkow/Mark. First, we pass the children's park Irrlandia, well worth remembering for a day trip with kids. Shortly after, we see peculiar bicycles in a front yard. Here, the "Tour de France Devil" Didi Senft has his museum with all kinds of curious bikes from around the world. In Storkow, we cross a historic drawbridge, ride through the old town, pass Burg Storkow, and reach the large Storkow Lake, inviting for a short swim break in summer. Refreshed, we pedal on quiet paths along the Gross Schauenener See to the Erlebniswelt Fischerei Köllnitz. Here, we can admire the ospreys in their nest. The Sielmann Foundation has installed a camera at an eagle's nest, broadcasting the life of the birds live. The Sielmann Museum also offers much information about the life of ospreys and other animals in the area. The return trip then follows the Didi Senft bike route via Philadelphia, Wolzig (with an impressive root-exposed pine) to Blossin. Now we ride along a forest path to Bindow and continue on the Dahme bike route via Kablow, along Lake Krüpelsee to the Neue Mühle lock. From there, it's not far to Königs Wusterhausen station, where our tour ends.
