Lost-in-Brandenburg route
︎Brandenburg, Germany
The Lost-in-Brandenburg Loop is an easily accessible mixed surface overnight bikepacking route that covers the rural and forested north-east of Brandenburg. Exiting the Berlin metro area, the loop travels over the area's infamous sandy and cobbled doubletracks, weaving in bouts of gravel, mellow singletrack, and smooth tarmac. Get lost and find yourself in the endless pine forests and tiny towns seemingly stuck in time.
This route showcases the excellent off-pavement riding that is directly
accessible from the urban island that is Berlin. Exiting the
metropolitan area via park trails, urban forest paths and dedicated
cycle ways, this route puts you on track of a 260km loop through the
sparsely populated area of Märkisch-Oderland in the federal state of
Brandenburg to the north-east of Berlin. You’ll encounter sights
characteristic of this area in Eastern Germany–dusty double tracks
bounded by blooming fields, cake stops in quaint towns, derelict rural
architecture, waning remnants of the socialist GDR regime and–above
all–sprawling dry pine forests thriving in the sandy soil interspersed
by tiny lakes.
