Riding along the Briese with a tandem is very adventurous, outstanding roots where you can get caught with the tandem and at least 2 fallen trees that had to be crossed. As mentioned, "adventurous"

Beautiful forest path from the Grinse in the direction of Rasdorf/ Leipnitzsee/ Wandlitz. Unfortunately, new, coarse gravel has been laid here, so it's not so great to ride with narrower tires.
