Frankfurt an der Oder to Groß Neuendorf/Altewin
Your cycling begins today through the Oderbruch marshes and along beautiful tree-lined avenues. Admire the view from the top of the dykes on the way to Groß Neuendorf or Altewin, two small rural villages with quiet countryside charm.
Groß Neuendorf/Altewin to Schwedt/Oder
The Lower Oder Valley National Park is the only national park in Germany dedicated to riverside meadows, and you’ll be enjoying the vast grassy, flower-dotted fields today.
On the way to Schwedt/Oder, be sure to take a break at the 12th-century ruins of Stolper Grützpott.
