Dahme Cycle Path Stage 1: Berlin-Köpenick - Königs Wusterhausen

The Dahme Cycle Path begins in the Old Town of Köpenick on the Damm Bridge, where the Dahme flows into the Spree. The Old Town of Köpenick is on an island between the Dahme and the Spree. The imposing baroque moated castle of the Hohenzollern houses an arts and crafts museum. The Dahme Cycle Path runs parallel to the Dahme river, past villas and many water sports clubs. In Königs Wustzerhausen it’s worth taking a detour to Königs Wusterhausen castle (about 8 kilometres).
