An idyll with excitement and adventure: This bicycle tour on the cycle path between Beeskow and Sulecin has a lot to offer - and builds bridges between neighbours. Cyclists will enjoy a route combining the most beautiful countryside on both sides of the border, first on the stretch between the Schlaubetal Nature Park and the Oder River and then on the“leap” over to Poland.
By the way, the cycle path between Beeskow and Sulecin was not created by chance. Beeskow and Frisia have been twinned with Sulecin for years.

Length: 123 kilometres (60-kilometre Brandenburg section) 

Start: Beeskow

Finish: Sulecin

Logo / route sign: German flag, Polish flag, the wording “Beeskow-Sulecin”.

How to get there: Take the RE2 (Cottbus) regional express train from Berlin central station to Königs Wusterhausen. From here, take the RB36 (Frankfurt / Oder) regional train to Beeskow (about 2 hours).

Return journey: If you drove to Sulecin, you will have to cycle about 40 kilometres back to Frankfurt / Oder in order to get back to Berlin by train. Take the RE1 (Brandenburg an der Havel) regional express train from Frankfurt to Berlin central station (about 1 hour).

Route description: After a relaxed start in Beeskow, you won't have to wait too long for the first surprise. The locals smile and day trippers rub their eyes in astonishment: just beyond the village of Ranzig, the smallest ferry in Brandenburg travels back and forth across the Spree River. It can only accommodate 10 people. But it is still hard work for “Captain” Maik Slotta. The man from the Mark Brandenburg region gets his mini-raft moving with pure muscle strength. “I don't need to do any sport in the evening”, the ferryman says laughing.

Then the peaceful Frisian countryside lives up to its name. Fruit trees and gardens 50 years ago probably looked like they do today. You can see the shimmer of heat over the cornfield from the shade at the edge of the forest – and sometimes you won't see anyone for a solid half an hour. Just beyond Oesen you enter an enchanted forest, dotted with winding tracks and tranquil lakes. People are talking about the Schlaubetal Nature Park. Cyclists can not only cool off here, but also in Lake Helenesee to the south of Frankfurt (Oder). Tourist sights extend beyond the horizon to the east of Kleist's town. Whether it's the Auenwald Forest near Slubice, the lake area near Ośno Lubuskie or the hilly Suleciner Schweiz area: get on your bike and cycle there! It is also beautiful in Poland – definitely not only in summer.
