Bathhouse Maasdorf to barbecue area Winkel via Wehr Maasdorf and back

The starting point is the so-called bathhouse at the Kleine Elster in Maasdorf. The weir is reached after about 300 meters. Here the boat must be carried around the weir. Then the journey continues. After about 500 meters, you leave the Kleine Elster and turn left into a newly created Elster loop. This leads in a wide arc around an artificially created dam that interrupts the straight course of the Kleine Elster. Downstream is the so-called fish ladder. For canoeists, a towpath has been created on the left side. From here it is another 1200 m to the Grillplatz Winkel landing stage.Length / Duration: 5 Km (2-4h) (one way)Start: Badstube, MaasdorfDestination: Grillplatz Winkel, WahrenbrückArrival / Departure:Public transport: From Berlin Hauptbahnhof with the RE5 to Doberlug-Kirchhain.
