In the midst of the countryside, not far from the hustle and bustle of Burg, rises a structure that is more than architecture: The Willow Dome, a walk-in living sculpture made of living willow branches, draws its arches toward the sky. Between the curved walls, the wind gently blows through the foliage, rustling gently as you walk through it or push your bike along the side. Built as part of the "Arena Salix" in the medicinal and aromatic plant garden, the Willow Dome is not a typical tourist destination with a chip shop and selfie point, but rather a place of contemplation. It lives in the rhythm of the seasons – in spring, young shoots sprout, in summer the green roof offers shade, in autumn the foliage glows in golden tones. In winter, the scaffolding rests, but even then, with quiet elegance, it tells the story of growth, change, and craftsmanship. The detour is worthwhile – even for cyclists. The paths are well-maintained, and the surrounding area is spacious, with picnic benches and information signs, but without any frills. If you like, you can combine your visit with a tour of the adjacent nature experience area – including a touch box, a snack patch, and a woodpecker telephone (yes, really!). An experience for the senses – no entry fee, no crowds, just there. Tip for planning your trip: The Willow Dome is ideally located on the edge of Burg and is easily accessible from the Gurkenradweg (cucumber cycle path). If you arrive early in the day, you often have it all to yourself – and can simply stand still among the living arches. Or as an elderly gentleman at the entrance put it: "You breathe differently in there." There's nothing to add to that.

It's a very beautiful route, only the small bridges were tiring on the bikes.

The path along the Stradower Teiche is really beautiful and, as there are no significant inclines, it is a relaxed ride, like so many paths here in the Spreewald. A wonderful landscape.

Three years ago you could still enjoy the hiking trail to Wotschofska as a hiker. Unfortunately, that hasn't been possible for a long time now. The very narrow path, which is actually only signposted as a hiking trail and is not actually a bicycle path, is now used by hundreds of cyclists during the season. Sad for hikers.

Except for the short section with the longitudinal slabs, this is a beautiful cycle path through the pond landscape.
