Family bike tour to lake Krummer See and lake Zeesener See

The cycling tour to Krummensee is a short cycling tour that takes in two bathing spots. In addition to the bathing meadow at Krummen See, the sandy beach at Zeesener See can also be visited. Both beaches have playgrounds, volleyball courts, toilets and restaurants. In Schenkendorf, at the turning point of the route, the fieldstone church is worth a stop. The building was erected at the end of the 14th century. Opposite the church, clinker brick houses can be seen. They are contemporary witnesses of the former coal mining in Schenkendorf. The tour leads along the back of the coal mine settlement past a pond. The flooded part of the former opencast mine is called In den Eiskuten.

The route along the eastern shore of Krummen See leads nicely through the forest before reaching the Steinberg settlement. Zeesen, a district of Königs Wusterhausen that has grown rapidly. Radio history was also written here. In 1927, the most modern large-scale long-wave radio transmitter of the time went into operation. In 1929, the first official German short-wave radio broadcast followed.
