A romantic tour of around Einstein's favourite corners south west of Berlin
In this route of about 35 km we will visit the town of Caputh, where Einstein and his family spend their summers before leaving Berlin, ride along lake Templin, and visit the Island of Werder, where we could stop in one of Brandenburg's finest lakeside fish restaurants or buy locally produced traditional apple wines
