Leaving Berlin's urban buzz behind, my journey to Fürstenwalde/Spree unfolded with surprises at every turn. Passing through Erkner, a picturesque village nestled by the Dahme River, I marveled at its tranquil beauty. As I pedaled on, the landscape transformed into lush meadows and dense forests, culminating in the medieval charm of Fürstenwalde/Spree. Here, the towering spire of St. Mary's Church welcomed me, a beacon of history in the heart of the town.
