The river route

The RIVER route is 22.7 kilometres long. On this route you not only pass through the leafy Spandauer Forst and the waterside paths of Jungfernheide, but also through the lively centre of Spandau and the diverse areas of Gartenfelde and Hakenfelde.

As you pass areas with modern apartment blocks and rows of old buildings, there is also plenty of nature to see. This route takes in the Protestant church at the Waldkrankenhaus, the Johannesstift collegiate church, Wichernkirche, Christopheruskirche in Siemensstadt, Weihnachtskirche and Lutherkirche. Between Johannesstift and Wichernkirche, the route is accessible for people with a disability.

Along the way there are several sections which although they are accessible, may require help as there are some steep slopes to manage.
