Tips from the Community
great route (old railway embankment), nice and shady when it's very hot

You can ride quite well here now. However, the cycle path towards Menz from Rheinsberg is not easily passable. In summer, the trees offer protection from the sun. Overall, a good route for me to cover distance on a gravel bike.

The railway cycle path is easy to ride and, thanks to its avenue character, also offers protection from the sun in summer. With a gravel bike, it's a good way to cover distance quickly.

The section between Flecken and Dorf Zechlin will be paved in 2025, creating a car-free zone 🙏

History of the Prussian nobility (von Arnim) and their activities for "modern" products, such as silkworm breeding on mulberry trees, introduced by the Huguenots. Today, these trees are valuable because they are relatively well adapted to the climate.

A lively little town with history. A beautiful church on the market square; there's also Cafe Reinhold: a good breakfast on the terrace.

I personally always find the term "Kriegsdenkmal" (war memorial), used (not only here) in the name of the highlight, a bit jarring. Although it is the literal translation of the English "War Memorial" and widely used in that language, in my subjective opinion, the term should not be used that way in German. After all, one commemorates not "the war" itself, but rather "the victims of the war(s)." For many decades, the term "Kriegerdenkmal" (war memorial) was common throughout the country; now, "Gefallenen-Denkmal" (fallen memorial) or "-Ehrenmal" (war memorial) is gaining ground. In my opinion, this term much better clarifies the current (dual) meaning—namely, on the one hand, to commemorate the victims of war and tyranny, and on the other, to understand this as a reminder to maintain peace.
