Friedrich Wilhelm Canal

Highlight (Segment) • River

A very nice bike path in great nature. Thanks to the many trees we found the track very pleasant even in hot weather. Thanks to all Tippgeber. Without Komoot, I would never have discovered this great route.

Beyond the Horizon
September 25, 2023, Pedestrian Bridge over the Oder-Spree-Kanal near Kaisermühle

Here you have a quick cycle connection over the Oder-Spree Canal, which takes you seamlessly from the Friedrich-Wilhelm Canal to the picturesque Schlaubetal. The paved route, which has existed since the bridge was built in 2000, offers you a smooth and pleasant ride. As you cycle across the modern bridge, you can almost hear the gentle rippling of the water and the calls of the ferrymen of yesteryear. Only about 50 meters west of your current location, a ferry used to transport people and goods across the canal.

It's no longer an insider tip, but it's still worth it. The Vogelsang power plant is a standard power plant built towards the end of the Second World War. It never went into regular operation and was dismantled after the war as reparations. The building envelope with the two chimneys, each 100 m high, is still preserved. The power plant is the only monument to the industrial boom in Fürstenberg (Oder). Almost all other testimonials have disappeared. Only a few residential buildings have survived from the Degussa industrial area. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraftwerk_Vogelsang

The Friedrich Wilhelm Canal, previously the Müllroser Canal, was the first artificial waterway that connected the Oder with the Spree. The canal, completed in 1668, ran from Brieskow an der Oder to Neuhaus an der Spree with a length of around 27 kilometers.

The most beautiful shore path without private claim is freely accessible at least on one side.

The bridge was built in 2000 when the paved bike path was built along the canal. The ferry used to run about 50 m west of today's bridge.
