Family time - Forest lanes and wild animals

Forest, animals, lakes - a tour on forest avenues and very lightly trafficked roads, tailor-made for families!Length: 25 kmStart/Finish: Groß Schönebeck train stationNodes: 38 - 37 - 77 - 76 - 38Route description: Starting at Groß Schönebeck train station, this tour leads through the town center towards Schluft. Magnificent avenues, linden, and oak trees line the way up to the signpost towards Liebenthal. A shelter invites you to take a first break here. The route continues through avenues straight ahead past the forestry house until you reach the wild horse enclosure and petting zoo in Liebenthal. A break is worthwhile here, and visiting the lovingly designed facility is recommended. In around 13 hectares, you can admire about 300 animals (e.g., donkeys, pigs, sheep) in spacious enclosures. Not only can you pet them, but feeding them is also explicitly encouraged (feeding bags are available at the ticket office). Additionally, tired cyclists can recharge with delicious homemade cake here. Continuing about 400 m further, you reach the playground in Liebenthal. A shelter here also offers the opportunity to raid the picnic basket you brought. In the town center of Liebenthal, keep right, pass node 77, to once again cycle on a lush green avenue for another 4.5 km to Hammer, where you turn left onto Mittelweg towards Groß Schönebeck. Before reaching the final destination, you pass Böhmerheide. The picturesque Weiße See entices with a beautiful bathing spot and a nicely laid out playground for a final stop. So, for warm summer days, be sure to bring your swimwear to refresh yourself in the clear water of the lake. The last leg of this tour leads back to Groß Schönebeck through Schloßstraße.
