Pollo tour

It steams and snorts along the 9 kilometre tour from Lindenberg to Mesendorf—“Pollo”, the only narrow-gauge railway in Brandenburg

From 1897 to 1971 the Pollo transported mostly cargo through the Prignitz. Railway junction point was Lindenberg which today holds the narrow-gauge railway museum. It opens on some weekends which is when fans have the chance to ride along in one of the historical steam- or diesel engines. The bike tour follows a good part of the Prignitz' narrow-gauge railway und passes many memorable places, especially for families with children.

The tour - 39 km

The tour runs along well constructed and signposted bike paths.

Pritzwalk – Buchholz – Waldpark – Groß Woltersdorf – Brünkendorf – Lindenberg – Vettin – Kehrberg – Klein Woltersdorf – Groß Woltersdorf – Mesendorf – Kuhsdorf – Giesensdorf – Pritzwalk
