The cycle path runs as an extension of Specker Straße along the eastern shore of Lake Feisneck and leads south into the Müritz National Park. It begins on the southeastern outskirts of Waren and offers cyclists a well-maintained, smooth asphalt path. The surrounding area is characterized by dense natural scenery: reed beds stretch along the shore of Lake Feisneck, while forests flank the path to the east. The road provides an attractive gateway to the Müritz National Park and allows for nature observation and relaxation in a quiet, natural setting.

It's beautiful in both directions in every season. In autumn and winter, it's sometimes covered in leaves and snow because it's not cleared.

A superbly developed and well-maintained cycle path with no damage. It's fun to "float" along it, surrounded by the wonderful, rustic forests of Müritz National Park 👍.

From the southeastern shore of Lake Malchow, there is an impressive view of the former Malchow Monastery, situated on a small hill on the opposite shore. The striking red brick buildings with their tall church towers dominate the town's panorama and, when the water is calm, are atmospherically reflected in the lake. The former Magdalene Convent, later a Cistercian monastery and finally a noble women's convent, is now an important cultural monument. The viewing point on the lakeshore is easily accessible via the cycling and hiking path and invites you to take a short rest with a view of the historic skyline of Old Malchow.

Idyllic surroundings and a lovely view. I wouldn't drive the extra miles to this dead-end street just for the view, though, unless I wanted to stop at the lovely Müritzhof next door.
