Silence, solitude, nature - barely a hundred kilometres north of Berlin lies one of the most sparsely populated regions in Germany, the Uckermark. A gentle, lovely and undulating land where almost five times fewer people share a square kilometre than in the rest of the country. Cyclists hardly have to share the roads with motorists either. There is even little traffic on the main roads. You purr alone along the avenues through the gentle hilly landscape; pass some of the 240 lakes on which small sailing boats play with the steady wind; cycle around pastures with peacefully grazing livestock, spruced-up small towns and dreamy villages with geese waddling along in front of their elongated, brick-built houses. Every now and then there is a manor house or a castle along the way, as well as dilapidated buildings of former agricultural production co-operatives (LPG) from the GDR era. In the Uckermark, however, cyclists don't just roll along gently. The home region of our Federal Chancellor is a training area that can be quite demanding.
