ROUTE:
Autumn is knocking on the door and harvesting is more or less done. So this is the time to thank whomever is responsible for the crop by celebrating Harvest festivals.

This time we visit Kuhhorst, an inclusive Farm north east of Berlin. Some of you may know them from their organic products which are sold in Berlin as well.

Starting in Paulinenaue we will also pass a very lovely former railroad embankment with (hopefully) very colorful trees around.

Arrived in Kuhhorst after about 20km we enjoy the animals (alive and on the plate) and all the activities offered there (see website).

To avoid cycling in too much darkness we head back the remaining 15km at around 16:30 at a relaxed speed.

SPEED:
Leisurely around 16km/h, at least if the wind doesn't come from the front.
This is like "Being able to see the details on the side of the road and enjoying the view in general… and have a chat."

DISTANCE AND TERRAIN:
This is an about 38ish km ride, with mainly mixed but also some solid or soft ground.
In general: Bikes with thin tyres (Race bikes, Road bikes, Fixies), rented bikes (Uber, Swapfiets) or any special bikes (Folding bikes, BMX etc.) are not suitable! You won't have fun, trust me!
And if you want to bring Kids or Animals please get in touch before!

MEETING POINT:
08:50 - Berlin Südkreuz, at the ticket machine right after the NORTHERN moving staircase (facing the TV-Tower.
I have a blue Villiger Trekking bike.
But you can hop in at any other station if you want (and dare).

TICKET:
It is 6,30 way out / person and the same way back, so it doesn't make much sense to organise a BBT.
The Deutschlandticket is valid.
And don't forget your "24-hour bicycle VBB network"-ticket which is about 7,50 EUR.

WAY OUT:
09:06 - dep. Berlin Südkreuz, RE8 from platform 8,
10:08 - arr. Paulinenaue

WAY BACK:
17:59 - dep. Nauen, taking RE8
18:51 - arr. Südkreuz

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Check the train schedule in the morning! The DB loves to stir up the plans by changing trains on short notice! If anything happens the Meeting point is the starting point of the cycling.
While we'll stop somewhere for a lunch and/or coffee please always bring your snacks but especially some drinks along!

And, PLEASE make sure your bike is in a proper state! Check your tyre pressure and oil the chain! Does your light work?
Having a toolset is highly recommended and a spare inner tube to fix a flat tyre a big plus! While we might be able to help in some circumstances please think about what happens if we can't! Thank you!

Bringing special equipment (Helmet, safety vest etc.) is NOT required but welcome if you feel more safe using it.
