Distance and timing basis
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Berlin motorcycle escapes
This is the Lower Oder Valley National Park, the only floodplain national park in Germany, and one of the wildest corners of the country. In spring the river floods the meadows, turning them into a shallow, glittering lake, and the dykes become islands. Birds arrive in huge numbers: cranes, geese, white-tailed eagles, black storks and corncrakes, whose rasping call is heard on summer nights, and beavers have returned to the channels.

Berlin motorcycle escapes is where the day begins. Next is Fläming Skate Villages and Forest checkpoint 8.
2. Zehlendorf
Before it was a motorway, the A115 that runs past Zehlendorf was the AVUS, a dead-straight test and racing road opened in 1921, where Mercedes and Auto Union raced in the 1930s on a steeply banked curve that terrified drivers. The banking is gone, and the road is just a busy stretch of the Berlin motorway network, but its history adds a little spice to finishing a ride here.

3. Back to Fläming Skate
Storkow is a small town on a lake in the Dahme-Seenland, south-east of Berlin, with a castle at its heart. Burg Storkow, a medieval fortress first recorded in the thirteenth century and rebuilt over time, stands beside the water, with towers and a gate, and the old town around it is a neat cluster of brick houses and a church. The Storkower See, with reeds and a swimming beach, lies right beside, and to the south, the huge lake called Scharmützelsee, the second-largest in the region, is only a few kilometres away.
