From Dammkrug to Protzen – a quiet bike ride through Ruppiner Land
This bike ride leads from Dammkrug to Protzen and
connects two quiet places in Ruppiner Land.
The route is particularly suitable for cyclists
looking for a manageable ride with plenty of Landschaft, fields, small paths and
a rural atmosphere.
Along the way, Brandenburg reveals its quiet side:
open spaces, wide views and stretches where
you can ride without any rush.
Protzen is a pleasant place to stop for a break and
its rural character provides a fitting end to the ride.
The route is well suited to a leisurely outing,
a short leg along the way or
as a connection to further rides around
Fehrbellin, Neuruppin and the Rhinluch.
Notes
Please use the route for orientation,
as depending on the exact routing, there may also be quieter side roads or
sections with fewer signs along the way.
The ride is especially pleasant in dry weather.
On open sections across fields, wind and sun may be more noticeable,
so sufficient drinks and
weather-appropriate clothing are recommended.
