July 25, 2024,Um den Schwielochsee

We are cycling in the warm-up for our September tour from Brixen to Venice.

Today we are in the Oder-Spree Lake District south of Frankfurt (Oder). We cycled around the Schwielochsee with friends. We started in the small town of Friedland. We tried to cycle as close to the shore as possible, which we managed quite well. The surface was …

We started our tour in Friedland, a small town in Lower Lusatia.

There's easy parking on the market square with its church.

The first highlight was the hand-operated cable ferry in Leißnitz at the outlet of Lake Leißnitz.

For €3 per person + bicycle, the ferryman took us across the Spree.

Did everything right today. 🤗 At home it was only cloudy and 40 km south at Schwielochsee I almost only drove in the sun. 🌞 I started at the Leißnitz ferry. There the ferryman uses muscle power to bring a maximum of 10 people across the Spree at the same time. It was a wonderful and relaxing tour over really …

There are many more swimming spots than other well-known lakes would like to have. Schwielochsee fascinated me, but my ambition to cycle right along the lake resulted in many poorly maintained roads, making the route longer. The section between Glower Eck and L144 might be okay for more casual hikers, but I won't attempt this section again by bike.

The entire tour was completed with two e-bikes and a dog trailer (Dogbus M). The tour is a mix of paved roads, paved cycle paths, gravel and field paths as well as single trail forest paths. Everything was easy to ride by bike and most sections were also manageable with the trailer, if a little bumping doesn't bother you. We …
