Third Stage “Spree Cycle Path”: Lübben - Beeskow

The third stage of the Brandenburg section of the Spree Cycle Path covers a distance of 68 kilometres from Lübben in the Spreewald to Beeskow. From Lübben you initially follow the Spree to Unterspreewald and then to Schlepzig. At Lake Neuendorfer See you turn eastwards to Trebatsch. There are many clearances in the woods which allow you to see the natural course of the Spree. You continue along the Spree and some pretty bathing lakes and finally get to the medieval town centre of Beeskow.Length: 73 kilometresStart: Lübben / Finish: BeeskowLogo/route sign: “Spree Cycle Path” logo with the Spree River and the Brandenburg GateHow to get there: Take the RE2 from Berlin central station to Lübben (about 1 hour).Return journey: Take the RB36 regional train from Beeskow to Königs Wusterhausen.
