Sundial path - Taubenheim/Spree

From the starting point of the path – Sohlander Str. 31 – with the granite stone clock surrounded by beautiful plantings, the visitor walks westward past sundials found on both sides of the path.

At the branch of Niederbrücke Street, proceed south. From Niederbrücke, turn left into Spreeweg. At a sharp angle, Am Bahndamm Street branches off, which you follow a bit under the railway track. Then turn right into Am Viebig Street, following it until you reach Albert-Schweitzer-Straße. Here turn left and at the end of the street turn right into Doktorberg, then immediately left into Neutaubenheimer Street, which crosses the railway tracks and leads left onto Am Bahnhof Street. Upon reaching Sohlander Street, immediately turn right into Zumpeweg, which leads into Oberdorfstraße. The path makes a wide curve over the Spree; the walker then turns left into Oppacher Weg. This street winds along the Spree and upon reaching Sohlander Street again, turn left and follow the street back to the starting point.
