Hangelsberg to Fürstenwalde on the 66 lakes hiking trail (stage 10A)

From Hangelsberg it goes on to Fürstenwalde (Spree).
At the beginning you have the choice: do you choose the marked route a little off the banks of the Spree or the more difficult but much more beautiful route directly along the banks of the Spree? Either way, you will encounter numerous side arms of the Spree with their typical lake-like bulges on this stage.

How to get there / Interesting facts: The path leads you from Hangelsberg always along the banks of the Spree to Fürstenwalde. The highlight of this tour is possibly the Große Tränke lock and the adjoining Oder-Spree canal. The canal is a direct connection to Berlin and was expanded from 1887 to 1891. A great relief for shipping, because through the canal, the ships no longer have to pass the many loops and loops of the Spree. The canal leads from the Spree from Berlin-Köpenick to the Oder to Eisenhüttenstadt and thus connects these two major rivers.
