Tierpark-Heide-Radweg (Naturroute Neuruppin)

The Tierpark-Heide cycle path, also called the Neuruppin Nature Route, runs from the Rheinsberger Tor railway station in Neuruppin via the Kunsterspring Zoo to the Kyritz-Ruppiner Heide. The route, which leads mainly along forest paths, offers many places to stop for refreshments, which are signposted on the individual branches.

As an alternative to conventional asphalt cycle paths, the creation of this sustainable form of cycle path is another highlight for nature lovers.

The Tierpark-Heide cycle path links the popular excursion destinations, the Kunsterspring Zoo and the heathland, with the energy park, the forest moor and nature trails, which are intended to raise awareness of nature again and are also, or especially, an exciting offer for children.
