A good 265 kilometres of cycle paths attract many visitors to our region with its many forests and lakes. In the west, the Dahme-Heideseen Natural Park borders on the Baruther Urstromtal glacial valley; to the east, the magnificent valley of the River Schlaube is a great draw. In the north, the ranges of hills known as the Rauener and Dubrower Berge guarantee a variety of hill-climbing opportunities and excellent views. Further south, the varied landscape of the Spreewald is another attractive option. In springtime, cyclists traditionally flock to Storkow, and the first Sunday in September sees thousands participating in the Rad-Scharmützel cycling event, a true experience for everyone on two wheels, offering entertainment and culinary delights around the Scharmützelsee and Lake Storkow.

In the warmer months of the year, this nature-based adventure park invites the whole family to a day of hiding, seeking, playing, running, climbing, creeping, scrabbling, swinging, bouncing, building, tinkering, splashing and throwing. Every year, there is a maze – of maize one year, of sunflowers the next – and every other year the park plays host to the Brandenburg Straw Festival, participated in by members of the European Stork City Organisation. Entertainment is organised by “Lollypop”, the Berlin-based not-for-profit children’s and youth organisation.
