A quiet route through the forest cemetery. It's paved, but the asphalt is in poor condition.

A fantastic view of the Briese River. The trail leads along a narrow path through the forest, towards the Alte Försterei Wensickendorf (Old Forester's Lodge Wensickendorf) to a wooden bridge that crosses the Briese. Occasionally, you'll need to dismount and push your bike or carry it over obstacles. This is a highly recommended route if you want to enjoy nature and are willing to tackle the sometimes rough terrain.

The area is very large, so unfortunately, you won't usually see the shy deer or roe deer. Bringing binoculars is recommended. Things look better elsewhere, where a larger herd of wild horses has recently begun roaming around.
